Hermannus Teutonicus
Hermann Oorwist, known as Hermannus Teutonicus[1] or Theutonicus,[2] was a 14th-century Dominican preacher and author.[3] According to Laurent Pinon, he wrote the following three works:[1]
- Liber de ascensu cordis[1][2]
- Distinctiones super Cantica[1][2]
- Tractatus de arte praedicandi,[1][2] a treatise on the technical art of preaching[3] that is apparently lost[4]
Hermann is the anonymous "N. Teutonicus" mentioned by Leandro Alberti. His surname, Oorwist, is known only from a marginal note in a copy of Alberti, which was seen by Pedro de Alva.[1]
