Additionally, Ratramnus wrote an odd Letter on the Dog-headed Creatures, dissenting from the commonly-held belief that the mythical cynocephali were animals.

Ratramnus wrote another treatise, The Birth of Christ, possibly as a response to Paschasius ’ De Partu Virginis.

" The ninth-century Frankish theologian Ratramnus wrote a letter, the Epistola de Cynocephalis, on whether the Cynocephali should be considered human.

Prudentius of Troyes, Wenilo of Sens, Ratramnus of Corbie, Loup de Ferrières and Florus of Lyon wrote in his favour.

Ratramnus wrote a refutation of Paschasius ' treatise on the Eucharist, De Corpore et Sanguine Domini, using the same title.

The view Paschasius expressed in this work was met with some hostility ; Ratramnus, who preceded Paschasius as Abbot of Corbie, wrote a rebuttal by the same name, by order of Charles the Bald, who did not agree with some of the views Paschasius held.

Ratramnus used the same two terms ( figura and veritas ) to describe the Eucharist as Paschasius, but used them differently.

Some fragments of his theological treatises have been preserved in the writings of Hincmar, Erigena, Ratramnus and Loup de Ferrières.

Probably in the early part of 1050, Berengar addressed a letter to Lanfranc, then prior of Bec Abbey in Normandy, in which he expressed his regret that Lanfranc adhered to the eucharistic teaching of Paschasius and considered the treatise of Ratramnus on the subject ( which Berengar supposed to have been written by Johannes Scotus Eriugena ) to be heretical.

Ratramnus, ( died c. AD 870 ) a Frankish monk of the monastery of Corbie, was a Carolingian theologian known best for his writings on the Eucharist and predestination.

In 851, John Scotus Eriugena was commissioned to oppose Gottschalk ’ s teaching, but his work, Treatise on Divine Predestination, essentially denied any form of predestination whatsoever, a denial which raised the ire of Ratramnus and Florus of Lyon.

In The Book on the Soul, Ratramnus argued that a soul cannot be universal, only individual.

On a whole, Ratramnus ’ works have been described by medieval scholar Giulio D ' Onofrio as marked by a careful methodological clarity and consistency possibly modeled on Boethius ’ Answer to Eutyches.

Controversy flared, for instance, around ' Spanish Adoptionism, around the views on predestination of Gottschalk, or around the eucharistic views of Ratramnus.

In June 829, at the synod of Mainz, on the pretext that he had been unduly constrained by his abbot, he sought and obtained his liberty, withdrew first to Corbie, where he met Ratramnus, and then to the monastery of Orbais in the diocese of Soissons.

Wala's death in 836 brought yet another abbot to Corbie, Ratramnus, who held opposing views to Paschasius on a number of ecclesiastical issues.

Ratramnus believed that the Eucharist was strictly metaphorical ; he focused more on the relationship between faith and the newly emerging science, while Paschasius believed in the miraculous.

On account of this, Willemein Otten has challenged the traditional interpretation of Paschasius and Ratramnus ’ different positions as a “ controversy .”

His doctrine was sharply attacked by Ratramnus and Rabanus Maurus, who opposed his emphatic realism, which was sometimes marred by unfortunate comparisons and illustrations, and proposed a more spiritual conception of the Divine presence.

Ratramnus was also known for his defense of the monk Gottschalk, whose theology of double predestination was the center of much controversy in 9th century France and Germany.

In his own time, Ratramnus was perhaps best known for his Against the Objections of the Greeks who Slandered the Roman Church, a response to the Photian schism and defense of the filioque addition to the Niceno-Constantinopolitan Creed.

Little is known of Ratramnus ’ life, but some have suggested that he became the teaching master at the Benedictine monastery of Corbie in 844, when Paschasius Radbertus was made abbot.

When Charles the Bald visited Corbie in 843, he apparently met Ratramnus and requested an explanation of the Eucharist.

It was to the emperor, then, that Ratramnus addressed his work, also entitled De corpore et sanguine Domini.

In this book, Ratramnus advocated a spiritual view in which the bread and the wine of the Eucharist represent Christ ’ s body and blood figuratively and serve as a remembrance of him, but are not truly ( perceptible by the senses ) Christ ’ s body and blood in truth.

In the 840s and 50s, Ratramnus became involved in the controversy over the teachings of Gottschalk of Orbais ( ca.

Ratramnus likely first encountered Gottschalk during the wandering teacher ’ s stay at the monastery of Corbie around 830, and later supported him in his conflict with archbishop Hincmar of Rheims.

In response, Ratramnus composed the two-book work On the Predestination of God ( De Praedestinatione Dei ), in which he defended double predestination, while objecting to the notion of predestination to sin.

Late in Ratramnus ’ life, he responded to the Photian schism of 863-7 between Eastern and Western Christianity over the appointment of Photius as Patriarch of Constantinople.

Ratramnus ’ defense of Western theology and practice in his Against the Objections of the Greeks who Slandered the Roman Church, is largely occupied with proving the filioque, although the final section of the work deals with other disagreements, such as the monastic tonsure and priestly celibacy.

In another show of support for Gottschalk, Ratramnus composed a short collection of patristic texts in favor of Gottschalk ’ s Trinitarian formulation of trina deitas against Hincmar of Rheims ’ proposed summa deitas.

In this work, Ratramnus defended the idea that Christ ’ s birth from the Virgin Mary occurred in the natural human way, so as to not detract from Christ ’ s real human nature.

This discovery has shed much light on the differences between the two versions ; while it was previously maintained that the Greek Septuagint ( the version used by the earliest Christians ) was only a poor translation, professor Emanuel Tov, senior editor of the Dead Sea Scrolls ' publication, wrote that the Masoretic edition either represents a substantial rewriting of the original Hebrew, or there had previously been two different versions of the text.
