Balderic

BALDERIC, the name given to the author of a chronicle of the bishops of Cambrai, written in the II th century. This Gesta episcoporum Cambracensium (first printed in 1615) was for some time attributed to Balderic, archbishop of Noyon, but it now seems tolerably certain that the author was an anonymous canon of Cambrai.

The best edition is in the
