Rupert of Deutz

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 doctrine of impanation, a Eucharistic heresy according to the Roman Catholic Church because, contrary to the dogma of transubstantiation, it maintains the physical presence of the bread and wine.[1] They influenced the theology in particular of Honorius Augustodunensis and Gerhoch of Reichersberg.
