Clarembald of Arras[1] (c. 1110 c. 1187) was a French theologian. He is best known for his Tractatus super librum Boetii De Trinitate, a commentary on the Opuscula Sacra of Boethius.[2]

He belonged to the School of Chartres, of William of Conches and Bernard Silvestris. He was a follower of Thierry of Chartres and Hugh of St. Victor, and an opponent of Gilbert of Poitiers.

  2. John Marenbom, Boethius (2003) p. 172 dates it to the late 1150s, and describes it as influenced by Thierry of Chartres, but simpler than Thierry's work.
