description: "Blessed Hermann of Reichenau or Herman the Cripple, also known by other names, was an 11th-century Benedictine monk and scholar. He composed works on history, music theory, mathematics, and astronomy, as well as many hymns. He has traditionally been credited with the composition of \"Salve Regina\", \"Veni Sancte Spiritus\", and \"Alma Redemptoris Mater\", although these attributions are sometimes questioned. His cultus and beatification were confirmed by the Roman Catholic Church in 1863. His feast day is September 25."
