Heymeric de Campo

Heymeric de Campo [Heymeric van Kempen, Heymeric van den Velde.] (1395–1460) was a Dutch theologian and scholastic philosopher. He was a prominent Albertist [ [http://www.cambridge.org/catalogue/catalogue.asp?isbn=9780521772242&ss=exc The Cambridge Companion to Reformation Theology - Cambridge University Press ] ] [ [http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/albert-great/ Albert the Great (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy) ] ] , and forerunner of Nicholas of Cusa. He studied at the University of Paris, and taught at Cologne (where Nicholas studied under him [H. Lawrence Bond, Selected Spiritual Writings By Nicholas of Cusa"(1997), p.4.] ), and Leuven [Jorge J. E. Gracia, Timothy B. Noone (editors), "A Companion to Philosophy in the Middle Ages" (2003), p. 316.] .

His "Tractatus Problematicus" began a series of polemical exchanges between the Albertists and the Thomists. The first part deals with universals, following closely John de Nova Domo, Heymeric's teacher. A belated reply was made on behalf of the Thomists by Gerard de Monte ["Tractatus concordiae inter Thomam et Albertum"] . [Paul van Geest, Harm J. M. J. Goris, Carlo Leget, Mishtooni Bose, "Aquinas as Authority: A Collection of Studies" (2002), p. 12-14.] .

He wrote a commentary on the Apocalypse [Derk Visser, "Apocalypse As Utopian Expectation (800-1500): The Apocalypse Commentary of Berengaudus of Ferrieres and the Relationship Between Exegesis, Liturgy and Iconography" (1996), p. 167.] .
