Erminold Master [Master of Erminold]
( fl c. 1270–84). German sculptor. He was active in Regensburg from c. 1275 until after 1280 and is named after his principal work, completed on documentary evidence in 1283: the funerary figure of the Blessed Erminold of Hirsau (d 1121), the founding abbot of the Benedictine monastery at Prüfening, near Regensburg. The figure lies in front of the former rood altar in the abbey church (now the parish church of St Georg). It is 1.98 m high and made of sandstone (the crook of the crosier is lead, and there are remains of the original tempera painting).
