Notker The Stammerer
Notker the Stammerer ( – 6 April 912), Notker Balbulus, or simply Notker, was a Benedictine monk at the Abbey of Saint Gall active as a poet, scholar and (probably) composer. Described as "a significant figure in the Western Church", Notker made substantial contributions to both the music and literature of his time. He is usually credited with two major works of the Carolingian period: the ''Liber Hymnorum'', which includes an important collection of early sequences, and the earliest biography of Charlemagne, ''Gesta Caroli Magni''. His other works include a biography of Saint Gall, the ''Vita Sancti Galli'', and a martyrology. Born near the Abbey of Saint Gall, Notker was educated alongside the monks Tuotilo and Ratpert; all three were composers, making the Abbey an important center of early medieval music. Notker quickly became a central figure of the Abbey and among the leading literary scholars of the Early Middle Ages. A renowned teacher, he taught Solomon III, the bi ...

Notker Physicus
Notker Physicus (died 12 November 975), sometimes called Notker II, was a monk at the Abbey of Saint Gall, active as a physician, painter, and composer. Besides ''physicus'' ("the physician"), he was also nicknamed ''piperis granum'' (pepper grain) on account of his strict discipline. Life and career Concerning his life it is only known that in 956 or 957 he became ''cellarius'' (cellarer), and in 965 ''hospitarius'' (hospitaller) at the Abbey of Saint Gall. He made several paintings, which were extolled by Ekkehard IV, who also mentions some antiphons and hymns, including "Rector aeterni metuende secli". Notker is probably to be identified with the ''Notker notarius'' (a notary) who enjoyed great consideration at the court of Otto I of Germany on account of his skill in medicine, and whose knowledge of medical books is celebrated by Ekkehard. In 940 this Notker wrote at Quedlinburg Quedlinburg () is a town situated just north of the Harz mountains, in the district of Harz ...

His election occurred on 18 May 971. He was the nephew of Abbot Thieto and Abbot Craloh as well as of Notker the Physician. Under Notker, the abbey's economy recovered.
