Praepositinus (Gilbert Prevostin of Cremona, Prevostinus Cremonensis) (c. 1135 – 1210) was an Italian scholastic philosopher and theologian. He was a liturgical commentator,[1] and supporter a res-theory of belief.[2] He discussed intentional contexts.[3]

Having studied under Petrus Comestor and taught at Paris, he went to Mainz Cathedral in 1196. Returning, he was Chancellor of the University of Paris from c. 1206 to 1209.[4]

A Summa contra haereticos from around 1200 was once attributed to him.[5]
