Otfried von Weissenburg (ôt´frēt fən vī´sənbŏŏrkh), 9th-century German monk and poet; pupil of Rabanus Maurus Magnentius. His Liber Evangeliorum (863–71) is a counterpart in Old High German to the 9th-century Old Saxon Heliand. Otfried's gospel tales are versified in a meter derived from Latin, and he is the first German poet known to have used end rhymes.
