Robert Holcot

Robert Holcot

Robert Holcot [Holgot, Holkot, Holcott, Robertus or Ropertus, Robertus Haldecotus] (c.1290-1349) was an English Dominican scholastic philosopher, theologian and influential Biblical scholar. He was born in Holcot, Northamptonshire. A follower of William of Ockham, he was nicknamed the "Doctor firmus et indefatigabilis".

His commentary on the "Book of Wisdom" ("Lectiones super librum Sapientiae") was widely known in the fourteenth century, and later, when after printing in 1480 it went through many editions. It has been identified as a prime literary source for Chaucer's "Nun's Priest's Tale" [See [http://www.chss.montclair.edu/english/furr/npt.html] and references given there.] .
