Conrad of Scheuern

Conrad Of Scheuern (or Seiren), in Bavaria, called The Philosopher, a German chronicler, lived in the early part of the 13th century. He was a Benedictine, and became prior of his monastery. He wrote, Chronicon Schirense, that is, the chronicle of the abbey of Scheuern, from 1196 to 1226, published at Ingolstadt in 1623, and Strasburg in 1716. He wrote more than fifty volumes upon other matters. Aventin says that the works of Conrad, of which he gives a list, aided him greatly in completing his Annales. See Hoefer, Nouv. Biog.
