Berthold of Moosburg

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Berthold of Moosburg (died after 1361[1]) was a German Dominican theologian and neo-Platonist of the fourteenth century, teaching in Regensburg in 1327[2].

His Expositio super Elementationem theologicam Procli, written between 1340 and 1361[3], was a major statement of the importance for Platonism of Proclus[4]. He opposed his Christian-Platonic synthesis to Aristotelian philosophy[5]. His sources included Theodoric of Freiburg and Albertus Magnus[6][7].
