Editing Ratramnus (section)

==Later reception==
At some point, Ratramnus’ Eucharistic work ''De corpore et sanguine Domini'' came to be identified as the work of [[John Scotus Eriugena]]. In the 11th century, [[Berengar of Tours]] seized upon “Scotus’” book as a source for his view of the Eucharist in his debate with [[Lanfranc of Bec]], and was summarily condemned by the local Council of [[Vercelli]] in 1050. Around 1100, further confusion arose when Ratramnus’ name was mistakenly copied in some works as Bertramus, a mistake which endured even into the 19th century.<ref>McCracken, ''Early Medieval Theology'', 112-13.</ref>

In the 16th century, Ratramnus’ work once more became the center of controversy. After ''De corpore et sanguine Domini'' was [[editio princeps|printed in 1531]], [[Protestant]] reformers seized upon the book as a counterpoint to the Catholic doctrine of [[transubstantiation]]. It was especially influential in England, where [[Thomas Cranmer]] claimed to have been finally convinced against transubstantiation by Ratramnus.
