| | Rupert Of Deutz On The Gospel Of John |
 | | The commentary on John, probably written some time during the first half of the 1110s, was one of the lightning-rods for controversy, especially the long discussion of Eucharistic doctrine in the commentary on chapter six of the gospel. |
 | | Rupert was afterwards in danger of losing his 'licentia scribendi', permission to write, i.e., to publish his commentaries and other works, as a result of that controversy, particularly the debate over his claim that Judas was not present at the first Eucharist. |
 | | The eight or ten-year period of unhappiness and self-doubt during which he received his charismatic visions was succeeded by an intense period of exegetical and theological output in the 1110s, culminating in the completion of his encyclopaedic overview of the Bible and subsequent salvation history, On the Holy Trinity, in 1117. |
