Roland of Cremona

Roland of Cremona

Roland of Cremona (1178 – 1259) was a Dominican theologian.

He joined the Dominican order at Bologna in 1219. He was a lecturer at the medieval University of Toulouse from its foundation in 1229, and preached against the Cathars in the city. In 1231 he led a party of friars and priests to exhume from a cemetery the body of a man rumoured to have died a heretic. This precipitate action led to protests from the consuls of Toulouse, and Roland left the city soon afterwards.

He was among the most enthusiastic of those who made use of the newly translated Aristotle in the early 13th century.
