MONETA OF CREMONA. - Dominican theologian and writer, b. at Cremona, d. at Bologna c. 1260. He taught the liberal arts at the University of Bologna and was famous throughout tota Lombardia when he entered religious life (1219). He studied and taught theology in the Dominican Studium of Bologna.
In 1228 he founded for his Order the convent of S. Guglielmo at Cremona together with his fellow citizen and confrere Rolando. He preached against heresy in Lombardy, drawing upon himself the hatred of the heretics, who made attempts on his life. Around 1240 he withdrew to Bologna, where he wrote the Summa adversus catharos et Valdenses (ed. T. A. Ricchini, Rome 1743), which is the most complete and most solid medieval treatise against the two great heretical sects, and embraces the whole of Catholic theology, with those particular references and developments that the aim of the work required: the conversion of the Cathars and the Waldensians. It is therefore the theology in which the first Friars Preachers, destined to preach and to inquire against the heretics, had most need to be well armed. For every question the position of the heretics and that of the Church are set out in parallel.
