Albertus Magnus^[a] OP (c. 1200 – 15 November 1280), also known as Saint Albert the Great, Albert of Swabia^[4] or Albert of Cologne, was a German Dominican friar, philosopher, scientist, and bishop, considered one of the greatest medieval philosophers and thinkers.^[5]

Canonized in 1931, he was known during his lifetime as Doctor universalis and Doctor expertus; late in his life the sobriquet Magnus was appended to his name.^[6] Scholars such as James A. Weisheipl and Joachim R. Söder have referred to him as the greatest German philosopher and theologian of the Middle Ages.^[7] The Catholic Church distinguishes him as one of the Doctors of the Church.
