Gilbert Crispin (c. 1045 1117/18), fourth abbot of Westminster
Abbey, was a scion of an important Norman family. Trained at Bec
under St Anselm, later archbishop of Canterbury, he was a noted
scholar and theologian. Under his rule, Westminster Abbey began to
expand physically and grow in importance, making full play of its
position as the chosen burial site of Edward the Confessor. The
necessity to raise funds for the building work probably led to
Crispin's association with the London Jewish community, and this
was to inspire his most important theological work, Disputation
with a Jew. In this 1911 book, J. Robinson Armitage, then dean of
Westminster, mines the abbey archives to write both a biography and
a discussion of Crispin's thirty-year administration of
Westminster. He also includes the texts of all Crispin's known
writings, together with a selection of charters. A significant work
on a hitherto neglected Anglo-Norman churchman.
