Alleged author of an imperial and papal chronicle of the thirteenth and
fourteenth centuries, is not an historical personage. The only connexion between
the chronicle to which the name of Henry of Rebdorf has been attached and the
foundation of the Augustinian canons at Rebdorf, near Eichstätt, Bavaria, lay in
the fact that the first editor of the said chronicle published it from a
manuscript preserved there, and now in the Bibliothèque Nationale at Paris,
while other manuscripts, displaying no essential points of difference, are known
to exist in the monastery of Neuburg and in the Hof-bibliothek at Vienna. Its
title is: "Chronica", or "Annales rerum ab imperatoribus Adolpho, Alberto,
Friderico, Ludovico Bavarico et Carolo IV. gestarum", or again "Annales
imperatorum et paparum". It is a chronological treatise extending from 1294 to
1362, and consists of two parts. The first part is a sequel to what is called
the "Flores Temporum", a well-known chronicle of the world's history compiled by
a Swabian Franciscan, and reaches to the year 1343; it was probably compiled by
an unknown writer about 1346 or 1347. The second part is a history of the twenty
years from 1343 to 1363. Its author was the magister Heinrich Taub, or Heinrich
der Taube (Heinrich the Deaf), or Henricus Surdus of Selbach, who officiated as
chaplain at St. Willibald's in Eichstätt and died about 1364. Practically
nothing has been learned of his life. We only know that he journeyed to Rome in
1350, for the purpose of gaining the jubilee indulgence, and that in 1361 he
admired at Nuremberg the crown jewels then exhibited in honour of the
christening of the new-born imperial prince, Wenceslaus. Various conjectures
have been made as to the personality of the author, but nothing certain has been
established. The chronicle itself, particularly in its second part, has some
importance, and was first edited by Freher in "Rerum Germanicarum Scriptores",
I, 411-52 (Frankfort-on-the-Main, 1600); 2nd ed., 1634; again by Gewold
(Ingolstadt, 1618); later by Struve (Strasburg, 1717), and finally by
Böhmer-Huber in "Fontes rerum Germanicarum", IV (1868), 507-68. It was
translated into German under the title: "Annales Imperatorum et Paparum
Eistettenses", by Dieringer (Eichstätt, 1883); also by Grandaur in the
"Geschichtschreiber der deutschen Vorzeit" (Leipzig, 1883).
