BERTOLDO OF MOOSBURG (MOOSBURG, MAISBERCH). - Dominican scholastic of the first half of the 16th century. Perhaps a disciple of Dietrich of Freiberg (de Wulf), he taught at Cologne. In 1318 he wrote a commentary on Aristotle's Metaphysics. His principal work is the Expositio in elementationem theologicam Procli (Στοιχείωσις θεολογική). Grabmann cites two manuscripts of it, Vat. lat. 2192 and 104 of Balliol College. A convinced supporter of Neoplatonism and doctrinally related to Albert the Great and the German Dominican school, B. exercised a notable influence, and admiring echoes of his writings are still to be found in the works of Cardinal Cusanus.
