He became a monk at the Benedictine Monastery at Reichenau in 1043, becoming Abbot of the Monastery. Hermann is called 'the Lame' or 'Contractus' for very good reason. He was extremely disabled, having only limited movement and limited ability to speak. Despite these disabilities he was a key figure in the transmission of Arabic mathematics, astronomy and scientific instruments from Arabic sources into central Europe. In other words he published in Latin much scientific work which before this time had been only available in Arabic. One would expect, from this description, that he would be an Arabic speaker but it is thought almost certain that he could not read Arabic. Hermann introduced three important instruments into central Europe, knowledge of which came from Arabic Spain. He introduced the

Extractions: As the mother of humanity, Mary's crown is each one of us as brothers and sisters of her Son. Each child in a family is irreplaceable; if one is not there with her, Mary's crown is unfinished. Each one of us is gifted with a mind, a heart, and a will; each one unique as a child of the Eternal Father. Each one is a king or queen when devoted in mind and heart and will to the call to service. Our age is so concerned with the outward splendor, the physical trappings and qualities, as if these were the only signs of human dignity. The true meaning of royalty is service, not being serviced. In reality we do not value ourselves enough, we do not sufficiently believe in our dignity and our call. We feel we are" failures," not up to standard when compared with others. Envy and jealousy creep into our relationships. We want to shine and excel rather than only to be part of the total picture. In life, self acceptance is basic if we are to grow into maturity. Self-love and self-acceptance lead us to love others and to love God because we are free from the chains which hold us back and keep us entangled in dead-end attitudes. Anyone can lead a full life, a life full of love, full of God, no matter what their temperamental or physical handicaps

Extractions: (Eleventh Century) This Hermann was the son of an eleventh century Swabian count. But his noble blood did not keep him from being born terribly crippled. "Hermannus Contractus" was one name by which he was known: "Hermann the Twisted." He could scarcely move without the help of somebody else. For all that, he had a keen mind, and an iron will to make something of himself. When Hermann was seven, his parents took him to the Benedictine monastery of Reichenau on Lake Constance. They arranged for him to be raised at the monastery and educated there. Was this a cop-out on the part of the parents? Not necessarily. Monasteries were often entrusted with the junior children of nobles. It was a good solution in the last analysis. The Abbot of the monastery, Berno, was an able and kindly educator. Because of his learning and because of his sweetness of character, Hermann became so noted a teacher that students from all over flocked to study under him at the monastery school.

Extractions: The manuscript tradition traces the presently known Alma Redemptoris Mater to the 12th century.

The Alma is also found in Chaucer's Prioress Tale. Text
