Osbern(e) Of Gloucester,

another English divine of the Anglo-Norman period, flourished near the middle of the 12th century. He was the author of a Commentary on the Pentateuch, in the form of dialogues; also a Commentary on the Book of Judges, and four treatises On the Incarnation, Nativity, Passion, and Resurrection of Christ, but none of these works have ever been printed. See Wright, Biog. Brit. Literaria (Anglo-Norman period), p. 158 sq.
