The inscription on the tympanum at Autun refers to Gislebertus as the "magister" or master of the work, which suggests that he was the person responsible for its production, rather than the bishop, pilgrim, or king. However, it is possible that Gislebertus also served as a patron for the work, commissioning it or providing financial support for its creation.
