St. William of Hirschau was not only one of the greatest mathematicians of the Eleventh Century, but a great monastic 

 reformer, who introduced the Cluniac rule into Germany, with the result that his strictness filled his House with monks, 

 many of whom shared his learning. He was also a great student of Plainsoug.
