Hugh Ripelin of Strasburg

Hugh Ripelin of Strasburg (c. 1205 – c. 1270) was a Dominican theologian from Strasbourg, Alsace. He is now considered to be the author of the ''Compendium theologiae'' or ''Compendium theologicae veritatis''. On account of its scope and style, as well as its practical arrangement, it was for 400 years used as a textbook. It may have been the most widely read theological work of the later Middle Ages, in western Europe. In 1232 a sale of land to ''Hugo von Ripelin'', then the paddock prior of the Dominican ''Predigerkloster'' in Zürich, is mentioned. Provided by Wikipedia
