'''Paschasius Radbertus''' (785–865) was a [[Carolingian Renaissance|Carolingian]] theologian and the abbot of [[Corbie Abbey|Corbie]], a monastery in [[Picardy]] founded in 657 or 660 by the queen regent [[Balthild of Chelles|Bathilde]] with a founding community of monks from [[Luxeuil Abbey]]. His most well-known and influential work is an exposition on the nature of the [[Eucharist]] written around 831, entitled ''De [[Body of Christ|Corpore]] et [[Blood of Christ|Sanguine]] [[Jesus|Domini]]''. He was canonized in 1073 by [[Pope Gregory VII]]. His [[feast day]] is 26 April.

His works are edited in ''[[Patrologia Latina]]'' vol. 120 (1852) and his important tract on the [[Eucharist]] and [[transubstantiation]], ''De Corpore et Sanguine Domini'', in a 1969 edition by B. Paulus, published by [[Brepols]] ([[Corpus Christianorum]], Continuatio Mediaevalis 16).
