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 heresy of impanation. [ [http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/07694a.htm CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Impanation ] ] They influenced the theology in particular of Honorius Augustodunensis and Gerhoch of Reichersberg.
