Bishop Marbode of Rennes was a poet, teacher, and scholar of the late eleventh century. His best-known work, De Lapidibus ["On Gemstones"], is a verse treatise describing the medicinal, therapeutic, and magical properties of sixty different jewels. I would like to know where online I can find a translation of this work, in whole or in part. If not online, maybe the location of a library that has this book.

Doesn't look promising. Check with the two sources above about an interlibrary loan of a translation. One is referenced in the first one.
