He died in 1123. His works were published at Venice in 1652, by D. Marchesi, dean of Mt. Cassin, and with the notes of P. Bruni at Rome, 1789-91. These works contained one hundred and forty- five sermons and homilies. He also wrote a commentary upon the Song of Songs: treatises upon Zechariah: letters to pope Pascal II and to the bishop of Porto: Expositio de Consecratione Ecclesiae, deque Vestimentis Episcopolibus, in volume 12 of the Spicilegium of D’Achery.
