Hugo Ripelin of Strasbourg

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hugo Ripelin of Strasbourg (also Hugo Argentinensis ; * around 1205 in Strasbourg , † around 1270) was a Dominican theologian from Alsace.

Life

Hugo was born in Strasbourg around 1200–1210 and came from the respected Ripelin family, his father was probably Burkhart Ripelin. After 1224 (date of the foundation of the monastery) he entered the Dominican order and received his education. From 1232 to 1259 he was at times prior and at times subprior of the Dominican monastery in Zurich founded in Strasbourg . In 1259 or in the spring of 1260 he returned to Strasbourg. There, as chairman of the arbitration tribunal, he decided a dispute between Rudolf von Habsburg and the provost von Fahr. He was also prior in Strasbourg. It has not been definitively clarified whether he completed his main work in Zurich or already in Strasbourg. Johann Meyer, a Dominican chronicler, gives 1268 as the year of death.

plant

Hugo probably wrote in 1260 or 1268 one of the most widely used manuals of religious literature for centuries, the Compendium theologicae veritatis - perhaps even the most widely read theological work in the late Middle Ages. There are more than 1000 manuscripts and numerous prints.

The manual is divided into 7 volumes, which cover creation, fall, incarnation, grace, sacraments and eschatology. It is influenced u. a. by Augustine , Pseudo-Dionysius Areopagita , Anselm of Canterbury , Petrus Lombardus , Hugo of St. Viktor , Bonaventure .

The work was until the clarification of the authorship (mainly by Grabmann) u. a. Attributed to Ulrich von Strasbourg , Thomas Dorinberg (who added an index to the edition of 1473), Thomas Aquinas , Hugo von Saint-Cher , Alexander von Hales , Aureolus , Thomas von Sutton , Peter von Tarantasia or Albertus Magnus . The latter is particularly the case in the Lyons edition of 1557, which also became part of the Albert edition of Lyons 1651. Another attribution gives Bonaventure , so that the work was included in the Bonaventure Rome 1588-96 edition.

Other works attributed to Hugo include a sentence commentary and Quodlibeta, quaestiones, disputationes et variae in divinos libros explanationes .
