"Wandelbert, a saint of German extraction, was born A.D. 813, and became a monk in the monastery of Priim. He was a learned theologian and Latin scholar, whose attaiimients not only won for him the position of master in the school of his convent, but also gave him literary celebrity and earned for him the notice of the emperor Louis the Pious. Wandelbert was a devoted educator and scholar, and also a busy writer. He left numerous works at his death, both in prose and verse, only two of which are still extant. The first, entitled Vita et Miracula S. Goaris Presbyteri, was published at Mayence in 1489, and afterwards incorporated by Surius and JMabillon in their respective Acta. It originated in the desire to perpetuate the fame of St. Goar, whose cell on the Rhine was given to the monastery of Priim by kings Pepin and Charlemagne, and is valuable for a correct apprehension of the conditions of Carlovingian times. The second work, a Martyrologium, is more im- portant. It was written in verse, and completed about A.D. 850. A preface in prose was prefixed, which de- scribes the different meters employed by him, but other- wise not in general use in his age; and upon this follow six lyrics whose burden is the invocation of God, an ad- dress to the reader, a dedication to the emperor Lothaire, a statement of the plan of the work, and a survey of the different parts of the year. The martyrology itself be- gins with Jan. 1, and describes in brief the life, charac- ter, and <leath of one or more saints for each day in the year. The conclusion of the work is made by a Hipmius in Omnes Sanctos in Sapphic verse ; and two other hymns on the seasons and pastoral occupations, etc., in heroic verse. These poems cannot be regarded as successful essays in poetry so much as they must be considered noteworthy productions of the learned culture of that time. The martyrology, unaccompanied by the minor

Wanes, in Norse mythology, is a people the loca- tion of whose country, Wanabeim, is not definitely | given; sometimes being thought to be on the Don (Ta- nais), sometimes on Cape North. This people is remark- able only as being implicated in a long and frightful war with the Asas, which seemed to lead to the destruction of both, until finally peace was made and hostages ex- chaugetl, whereby the Asas received Niord and Freia, and the Wanes Hiiner and Jlimer. Both parties also spit into a cask, from whose contents the Asas then cre- ated the white man Quaser. The Wanes appear to have been an experienced people, because their hostages introtluced the worship of deities among the Asas. They seem, however, to have been inexperienced in state management, as the Asas made Hiiner their king, while tlie wise IMimer was made his adviser; from this is ex- jilained the fact of the partial submission of the Wanes to the conquering Asas. — Vollmer, Wurlerb. d.
