Description
Adelmann, Brescia's eleventh-century bishop of unknown parentage and origin, was educated at Chartres's famous school in France, founded by Fulbert, and ranked among his prized pupils. Fellow student Berengarius later received two letters from him. The second, incomplete, letter is a valuable statement of church teaching on the Blessed Sacrament.
The Benedictine editors of the Histoire litteraire de la France rank it among the period's finest literary writings. It breathes tender love for Berengarius, the friend of his youth. Calvin, by contrast, called Adelmann crude, unskilled, and a sophist. Adelmann apparently became Brescia's bishop in 1050 and took an active part in the church reform movement, especially against simony and concubinage.
