DORSTEN, John of. - Augustinian, theologian and preacher, b. at Dorsten in Westphalia, in the first half of the 15th century, d. in 1481. He attacked the spiritual doctrines upheld by John of Lutrie, and composed at Erfurt (1465) a Disputatio de spolibet against the prophecies of Abbot Joachim (ms. 2064 in the Stadtbibliothek of Trier). In 1467 he was provincial of the Augustinian province of Saxony. He taught theological subjects with distinction at the University of Erfurt.

At the wish of the Synod of Mainz (1471) he wrote against simony: Tractatus sive collatio synodalis de statutis Ecclesiarum (Erfurt 1489). His Determinatio de cenere miraculoso D. N. Jesu Christi in monasterio Goterensi [of Wilsnack] (Leipzig 1510) was also printed.
