1668) Arnulf of Orléans

Arnulf of Orléans, also known as Arnulfus Rufus (French: Arnoul le Roux). Grammarian and poet of Latin, active as a teacher in Orléans in the late twelfth century in the monastery of Saint-Euverte.
In Arnulf's time, Orléans was a centre of classical learning in France. He taught the classics in the ancient grammatical style, as opposed to the new "logical" style. In his commentaries on Ovid (Metamorphoses, Fasti, Ars amatoria) and Lucan, which circulated widely, he is sharply critical of his predecessors. Arnulf is the likely author of the elegiac comedy Lidia and possibly also of Miles gloriosus.
He had a famous rivalry with Matthew of Vendôme. Arnulf and Matthew's dispute seems to have involved insulting each other's poetry. Arnulf was not reticent to insult rivals, labelling one commentary as designed for "those who have been fooled by Fulco". Likewise, he vaunted his own skills by facetiously deriving his name from the expression ardua nulla fugiens (flying from no difficulty). Matthew came out the worst and relocated to Vendôme in 1175. He was, however, successful in damaging Arnulf's reputation with his writings.

- " In his [Matthew of Vendôme's] Ars poetica, the name Rufinus and the Latin word rufus (redhead) are used throughout to insult Arnulf... He says that Arnulf proves the proverb right: redheads are cheats who cannot be trusted." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arnulf_of_Orl%C3%A9ans_(12th_century)
