Haimo of Auxerre

Haimo of Auxerre (died c. 865) was a member of the Benedictine Abbey of Saint-Germain d'Auxerre. Although he was the author of numerous Biblical commentaries and theological texts, little of his life is known today.

Haimo defended the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist and condemned those who considered that the Eucharist was just a "sign". This realism applied also to his ecclesiology.{{cite journal |last=Hernández |first=Alfonso |date=2015 |title=The Role of the Eucharist in the making of an Ecclesiology according to Haimo of Auxerre's Commentary on I Cor |url=http://repositori.udl.cat/bitstream/handle/10459.1/56909/ImagoTemporis_2015n9p253.pdf |journal=Imago Temporis: Medium Aevum |volume=IX |pages=257–259 |doi=10.21001/itma.2015.9.11 |issn=1888-3931 |access-date=18 June 2016|doi-access=free }} His exegetical commentary was an important source for Adso of Montier-en-Der's letter on the life of the Antichrist.{{cite journal|last=MacLean|first=Simon|title=Reform, Queenship and the End of the World in Tenth-Century France: Adso's 'Letter on the Origin and Time of the Antichrist' Reconsidered|journal=Revue belge de philologie et d'histoire|volume=86|issue=3–4|year=2008|pages=645–75|doi=10.3406/rbph.2008.7582 |hdl=10023/4219 |url=https://www.persee.fr/doc/rbph_0035-0818_2008_num_86_3_7582|hdl-access=free}}

Several texts, including those published in the Patrologia Latina, previously attributed to Haymo of Halberstadt, are now believed to be his work.Medieval France: An Encyclopedia, Ed. William W. Kibler and Grover A. Zinn, (Garland Publishing Inc., 1995), 437.
