Wikipedia description:
Adam of Saint Victor (Latin: Adamus Sancti Victoris; c. 1068 – 1146) was a prolific composer and poet of Latin hymns. A central figure of the sequences in high medieval music, he has been called "...the most illustrious exponent of the revival of liturgical poetry which the twelfth century affords." Adam's career was based in Paris, split between the Abbey of Saint Victor and Notre Dame. He was well acquainted with numerous contemporary scholars and musicians, including the philosopher and composer Peter Abelard, the theologian Hugh of Saint Victor and the composer Albertus Parisiensis, the last possibly being his student.
