Hervaeus Natalis

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hervaeus Natalis^[1] (c.1260, Nédellec, diocese of Tréguier, Brittany^[2]-1323) was a Dominican theologian, the author of a number of works on philosophy and theology. He may have written the Summa Totius Logicae, an opusculum attributed to Thomas Aquinas.

He studied theology in Paris.^[3] He became French provincial of the Dominicans in 1308.

A resolute early Thomist^[4], nicknamed Doctor rarus, he was a tenacious opponent of the theology of Durandus of Saint-Pourçain.^[5] He also opposed Scotism.^[6] He sought for and obtained the canonization of Aquinas.^[7]

He became Master of the Order of Preachers.

^ [1]: The first Thomists appear at the end of the thirteenth century and the beginning of the fourteenth. They defend St. Thomas against certain Augustinians of the ancient school, against the Nominalists and the Scotists. We must note in particular the works of Herve de Nedellec against Henry of Ghent; of Thomas Sutton against Scotus, of Durandus of Aurillac against Durandus of Saint-Pourcain and against the first Nominalists.
