Heymeric de Campo

Heymeric de Campo^[1] (1395–1460) was a Dutch theologian and scholastic philosopher. He was a prominent Albertist,^[2][3] and forerunner of Nicholas of Cusa. He studied at the University of Paris, and taught at Cologne (where Nicholas studied under him^[4]), and Leuven.^[5]

His Tractatus Problematicus began a series of polemical exchanges between the Albertists and the Thomists. The first part deals with universals, following closely John de Nova Domo, Heymeric's teacher. A belated reply was made on behalf of the Thomists by Gerard de Monte.^[6][7]

He wrote a commentary on the Apocalypse.^[8]
