In 843/44 he wrote this work on request of Charles the Bald, in which he emphasises the figurative nature of the sacraments, and contradicted the doctrine of the transsubstantiation. He also goes under the name Bertram or Intramn. The book was considered to be heretic, and forbidden in 1050. During the Reformation the book was rediscovered by protestants. The author of the two dissertations is the English clergyman, Canon of Worcester, and antiquary William Hopkins (1647-1700). The translator is the Huguenot refugee J.-F. Bernard. (See Bakhuizen, p. 120/1 & 128/9) Hopkins' dissertation, accompanied by a Latin text and an English translation of Ratramnus, was first published in 1686, and reissued in 1688.
