Roland of Cremona (around 1178[1] – 1259) was a Dominican theologian and an early scholastic philosopher.
[2] He was among the most enthusiastic of those who made use of the newly translated Aristotle in the early 13th century.
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.
