Simon of Hinton
Simon of Hinton (Latin: Simon de Hentona) was a 13th century English Dominican theologian.
Biography
He received a bachelor's degree at Oxford by 1239, the doctorate in theology c. 1248, and until 1250 or 1254 acted as master at the Oxford Dominican priory, probably succeeding Richard Fishacre.[1] He served as provincial of the English Dominicans (1254–61), but was removed from office by the general chapter for failure to comply with regulations of the order. The issue involved a refusal to accept foreign students at the studium of the order at Oxford.[1] When sent to lecture at the Dominican school at Cologne, he was permitted to return to England within a year.[1]
Writings
His writings include scriptural treatises, theological works, and a manual for study. Besides several Quaestiones disputatae, he has left scriptural commentaries and glosses, and postils on the Minor Prophets.[1] The Summa ad instructionem iuniorum was a manual of practical theology and enjoyed wide usage from the 13th to the 15th century.[1]
