Hermannus Contractus (also called Herman the Cripple; 1013–1054) is said to have authored the hymn based on the writings of Saints Fulgentius, Epiphanius, and Irenaeus of Lyon. It is mentioned in "The Prioress's Tale", one of Geoffrey Chaucer's "Canterbury Tales". Formerly it was recited at compline only from the first Sunday in Advent until the Feast of the Purification (2 February).
