Praepositinus (Gilbert Prevostin of Cremona, Prevostinus Cremonensis) (c. 1150 - 1210) was an Italian Dominican 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 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].
