Clarembald of Arras

Clarembald (Clarembaud) of Arras[1] (c. 1110 – c. 1187) was a French theologian. He is best known for his Tractatus super librum Boetii De Trinitate, a commentary on the Opuscula Sacra of Boethius.[2]

This article is about the French 12th-century theologian. For 12th-century abbot-elect of St Augustine's, see Clarembald.

He belonged to the School of Chartres, of William of Conches and Bernard Silvestris. He was a follower of Thierry of Chartres and Hugh of St. Victor, and an opponent of Gilbert of Poitiers.

Notes

1. Clarembaldus Atrebatensis
2. John Marenbom, Boethius (2003) p. 172 dates it to the late 1150s, and describes it as influenced by Thierry of Chartres, but simpler than Thierry's work.
