- Adam of Dryburgh (c. 1140 – 1212) was a late 12th and early 13th century Anglo-Scottish theologian, writer and Premonstratensian and Carthusian monk. He entered Dryburgh Abbey as a young man, rising to become abbot (1184-1188), before converting to Carthusianism and moving to Witham. His also somethimes known by various other later names, including Adam the Carthusian, Adam Anglicus and Adam Scotus. He was born around 1140 in the Anglo-Scottish border area to parents whose names and identity are unknown. The details of his earliest education are not known either, but at some stage he may have studied under the great Hugh of St Victor. He is known to have rejected a clerical life in favour of monasticism, entering the Premonstratensian house of Dryburgh Abbey and becoming a priest there in 1165 at the age of twenty five. Adam served under the first two abbots, Roger and Gerard, before in 1184 Adam himself became abbot. It is not clear if Adam became a full abbot or if he was just acting abbot or coadjutor. Abbot Gerard may have become incapacitated by illness, and Adam apparently refused to be blessed by a bishop while Abbot Gerard still lived. Adam was summoned to Prémontré, France, by its abbot the head of Adam's order. While in France Adam visited the Carthusian priory of Val St Pierre, which impressed him so much that he himself vowed to become a Carthusian, resigning his abbacy at Dryburgh. In this he was following in the footsteps of Abbot Roger, first head of Dryburgh Abbey, who had retired to Val St Pierre in 1177. Adam returned to Britain and visited Hugh of Lincoln, Bishop of Lincoln. After consulting with this senior Carthusian figure and future saint, Adam joined Hugh's old priory at Witham, Somerset. The Premonstratensians did not give up trying to get him back, however, and it was only after the intervention from Bishop Hugh that a letter of release was issued to Adam. Adam would remain at Witham until his death, perhaps in the year 1212. He had no children, was said to have been of medium height; he was noted for his cheerfulness, his skill as a preacher and his good memory. Adam was also a prolific writer, which included many sermons as well as theological and other religious texts. Among his most famous works were De tripartito tabernaculo, written at Dryburgh in 1180, and Liber de quadripartito exercitio cellae', written at Witham. His writings were first published by Aegidius Gourmont in Paris in 1518. Later in that century the churchman John Bale gave more writings to Adam by mistakenly attributing six works to Adam five of which he had no connection with.

- Adam av Dryburgh, også kalt for Adam Scotus (= Adam Skotten) og Adam Anglicus ble født i Berwickshire i sørlige Skottland og fungerte i de første årene som predikant. Under en reise i Premontre i Frankrike ble han kjent med den strenge karteuserordenen ved Val St. Pierre. Ordenen var blitt grunnlagt av Roger, den første abbed ved klosteret i Dryburgh som han selv ble kannik hos premonstratenserordenen i 1184. Etter å ha søkte råd fra Hugh av Lincoln kunne han tre inn som karteuser ved Witham i Somerset i England i 1188. Han var øyensynlig i St. Andrews og rundt tyve år senere hadde han steget i gradene og blitt abbed og biskop ved Candida Casa i Whithorn i Galloway. Adam oppnådde europisk anerkjennelse for sine mystisk-estetiske skriverier i middelalderen, inkludert en opptegnelse av premonstratenorden, en samling av festsermonier, og Soliloquia de instructione discipuli, som tidligere var blitt tilegnet hans samtidig Adam av St. Victor. Guds kvaliteter er beskrevet i De triplici genere contemplationis, tabernakelet bygget av Moses i De tripartito tabernaculo, en dialog mellom fornuft og sjel i Soliloquium de instructione animae. Noen av Adams skrifter har overlevd, en del ble utgitt i 1518 i Paris og en annen del ble utgitt i Antwerpen i 1659.
