CONRAD OF HALBERSTADT. - Name of two Dominican writers on theological and historical subjects, of whom neither the year of birth nor that of death is known, and whose literary legacy contains many unsolved problems.
C. the elder took part as definitor of the province of Saxony in the General Chapter held in Florence in 1321. C. the younger (d. after 1362) was in 1342 and 1350 lector in the Studium of the Order at Magdeburg, in 1345 master in theology, in 1350 vicar and in 1351-54 provincial of the Saxon province.
C. the younger wrote: Glossemata super Iosue, De numero duodenario, Liber similitudinum naturalium (it agrees in many parts of the first books with the Summa de exemplis et rerum similitudinibus of Elvicus, or imitates parts of the De similitudinibus rerum of Giovanni di S. Gigniano), De origine regnorum et regno Romanorum, Chronographia summorum pontificum et imperatorum Romanorum), works still unpublished. He is said to be the author of the Summa studentium, De tricia, Comment. in Iob, Sevenoies de tempore et de sanctis.
Now to C. the elder, now to the younger, the following works are attributed: Tripartitum per abecedarium sive loci communis theologico-marales, Quadripartitum morale, Mensa philosophica (Lübeck 1476, and then in 30 other editions, of great importance for the history of European culture; Concordantia biblicae V. et N. Test. (Nuremberg 1485 and often).
