Osborn of Canterbury,
MUSICIAN AND BIOGRAPHER,
Was so called, says Fuller, "because he had his first birth or best Being, as Chanter in the Cathedral" in that city. He was "an admirable musician, which quality endeared him to Lanfranc, the Lordly Lombard. He was the English Jubal." He wrote the life of the Archbishops Dunstan and Alphage, the former of which may be found in "Wharton's Anglia Sacra." He died about the year 1100.
