STEPHEN Abbot of Lobes.
THE first is Stephen, whom Fulcuin calls a Learned Man, and of whom he says, that he observ'd the Rule of the Canons: which made People believe that he was a Secular Abbot. The same * 1.1 Author adds, that he has cast into a more polish'd stile the ancient Life of S. Lambert, which was written in a course dress, and he made a very famous piece of Prose out of it: That he likewise made another small Treatise, compos'd of several fine Thoughts extracted out of Holy Writ; in which he has inserted the Chapters and Collects of each Festival in the year: and that in the Preface he observes that he had been advanc'd to Mets, by dedicating his Treatise to Robert Bishop of that City. Sigibert says likewise, that he made a piece of Prose upon the Trinity, and upon the Invention of S. Stephen the Proto-Martyr. Others say, that they are certain Offices appointed for these Festivals.
The Life of S. Lambert was publish'd in the History of the Bishops of Liege, by Chapeaville. This Stephen was ordain'd Bishop of Liege in the year 903.
After his death the Bishoprick of Liege was contested, as was formerly hinted, between Hilduin and Riquier; but the latter being Abbot of Lobes, carried it from the other. In his time the stu∣dy of the Liberal Arts and Sciences (says Fulcuin) began to flourish in the Abbey of Lobes, and the most famous Professors of them were Scamin, Theoduin, and Ratherius. We have already given a particular Account of the Transactions and Writings of the last of these Persons. Trithemius like∣wise attributes to Hilduin, who was Competitor with Riquier for the Bishoprick of Liege, the Title of Abbot of Lobes, and assures us that he wrote the History of the Abbots of that Monastery, and several Sermons; but 'tis probable that he was mistaken, and that he took Hilduin for Fulcuin.
