Berthold of Moosburg

Berthold of Moosburg (died after 1361^[1]) was a German Dominican theologian and neo-Platonist of the 14th 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 Freiberg and Albertus Magnus^[6][7].
