Rupert of Deutz
Rupert of Deutz (born c. 1075-1080, died c 1129 in Deutz)[1] 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 wherein the substance (but not the appearances and physical characteristics) of the bread and wine is wholly converted into the substance of Christ's Body and Blood, united to his divine person--impanation maintains that Christ directly unites the substance of the bread and wine to his divine person (or sometimes to his human nature), just as he united his own body and blood to his divine person.[2] They influenced the theology in particular of Honorius Augustodunensis and Gerhoch of Reichersberg.
