Petrus Riga
Petrus Riga[1] (c. 1140 – 1209) was a French poet. He is known for his work Aurora, which is a commentary on the Bible with emphasis on allegorical and moral interpretation. Although it has been called the verse Bible (Biblia versificata) of the middleages[2] it is not just a collection of versified paraphrases.
He was a canon of Rheims cathedral, and wrote many works. He was an influence on John Gower.[3]
