Rupert of Deutz

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rupert of Deutz (c.1075-1129) was an influential Benedictine theologian, exegete and writer on liturgical and musical topics.

He was from Liège, and late in life became abbot of Deutz Abbey. His works include:

  • De voluntate Dei
  • De omnipotentia Dei
  • Commentaria in canticum canticorum
  • De divinis officiis

His works were later scrutinized in relation with the heresy of impanation.[1] They influenced the theology in particular of Honorius Augustodunensis and Gerhoch of Reichersberg.
