Heymeric de CampoHeymeric van Kempen, Heymeric van den Velde. (1395–1460) was a Dutch theologian and scholastic philosopher. He was a prominent Albertist, and forerunner of Nicholas of Cusa.

Noone (editors), A Companion to Philosophy in the Middle Ages (2003), p. 316.
His Tractatus Problematicus began a series of polemical exchanges between the Albertists and the Thomists. The first part deals with universals, following closely John de Nova Domo, Heymeric's teacher. A belated reply was made on behalf of the Thomists by Gerard de Monte.Tractatus concordiae inter Thomam et AlbertumPaul van Geest, Harm J. M. J. Goris, Carlo Leget, Mishtooni Bose, Aquinas as Authority: A Collection of Studies (2002), p. 12-14.
