Ulric OF Augsburg, in the 10th century, occupied a noteworthy position amonij his contemporaries both as a prince and a prelate. He was born about A.D. 890 at Augsburg, educated at St. (iall, and ordained to his bish- opric Dec. 28, 923. In accordance with the custom of his time, he followed with his retainers the standards of the emperors Henry I and Otto I. He was influen- tial in securing an armistice between Henry and his re- volted son duke Liutulf in 9.o4, and in the following year he won great fame by a successful defence of Augs- burg against the Magyars. He was equally zealous in the erection and adorning of churches and chapels, and in the restoration of cities, castles, dwellings, and lands. His bounty was long the only support of impoverished priests and retainers. In the administration of his dio- cese he was accustomed to make journeys of visitation to dispense justice, confer absolution, and examine the official conduct and private life of his clergy. He great- Iv increased the number of festivals and tlie pomp with which thej' were observed, and he was eminently zeal- ous in the collection of relics. He was, in brief, a thor- ough exponent of the piety of his age, and also a tine specimen of the militant churchman. Towards the close of his life he became more thoroughly an ascetic than before, and assumed the Benedictine habit. He died July 4, 973. Soon after his decease, it was re- ported that miracles were wrought upon persons who visited his grave, and his memorj^ and remains were ac- cordingly highly venerated in Augsburg and vicinity. I'rovost Gerhard, who had been Ulric's constant coir- panion in the closing years of the bishop's life, WTOte a JAj'e, in which many of these wonders are mentioned ; and Ulric's successor in the bishopric, Liutulf, persuaded pope .John XV to canonize their author. The bull to t his effect was issued in February, 993, and is noteworthy as the first clearly authenticated document which marks the transition from a saint-worship which grew natu- rally out of the excellences of character in Christians, to a saint-worship established by decree of the pope.
Ulric's name is mentioned in connection with the authorship of several writings, but without satisfactory proof. The first is entitled Aicolao Domino et Patri 6'. liom. Eccl. Procisori V. [some MSS. have G.~\ solo No- mine Ejnsc. Amorem ut Filius, Timorem lit Serrus, in Martene et Durand, Ampliss. CoUectio, p. 449-454. It was lirst printed by Flacius in 15.50, and afterwards in- corporated with his Catalogus TesHum Veritafis. The second is a Sei-mo Synodalis Paroch. Presbyt. in Synod. Knuniiandus, on which comp. Vogel, Ratherius von Ve- rona (Jena, 1854), i, 343, note. The last is an Epist. de Vita Nutinfji Episc. Constantiensis. The best source on Ulric is the biography translated by Gerhard (983-993), and published by Waitz in Monnm. Scriptores, iv, 377 .sq. The latter also gives a list of later and dependent lives.
