Lupus Servatus

Lupus Servatus, also Servatus Lupus (ca. 805 – ca. 862), in French Loup (meaning 'wolf', as does Lupus in Latin), was a Benedictine monk and Abbot of Ferrières Abbey during the Carolingian dynasty, who was also a member of Charles the Bald's court and a noted theological author of the ninth century. He is sometimes regarded as the first humanist of the Early Middle Ages because of the quality of his literary style, his love of learning, and his work as a scribe and textual critic.
