ROSWIDA a Nun.

ROswida a Nun of the Monastery of Gandersheim, famous for her Quality, Learning and Piety, * 1.1 flourish'd under the Emperor Otho II. by whose Order she compos'd in Heroick Verse a Pane∣gerick upon the Actions of Otho the First. She likewise wrote in Verse the Passion of S. Dennis Bi∣shop and Martyr, and that of S. Pelagius who suffer'd Martyrdom in Spain; and some other Poems in Commendation of the Virgin Mary and S. Anne; as also on S. Gandolphus and some other Saints. To her likewise is attributed the Life of S. Wilblod Bishop of Eichstadt, and that of S. Unnebald the first Abbot of Heildesheim, related by Surius, Canisius and Father Mabillon. This Nun wrote in a finer stile then most part of the Authors of her time, and was well vers'd in the Knowledge of the Greek and Latin Tongues: Her Poem of the Life of Otho, was printed with Witichind's Works at Francfort in 1621. and in the Collection of the German Writers by Ruberus; and her Poetical Pie∣ces were printed together at Nuremburg in 1501. by Conradus Celta.
