ADAM OF ST. VICTOR

(died Paris, 1146)
A charter of Notre Dame cathedral lists "Subdeacon Adam" as a signatory. About 1133, "Adam Precentor" moved to the Abbey of St. Victor. He is believed to have contributed significantly to the creation of more than 100sequencetexts composed in Paris in the early 12th century.
