Conrad of Megenberg (German: Konrad von Megenberg,[a] Latin: Conradus Megenbergensis; 1309–1374) was a German Catholic scholar, and a writer

Conrad was one of the most prolific German writers of the fourteenth century. He wrote over thirty books.[2] His best-known and most widely read work is his "Buch der Natur".[2] According to his own statement he was engaged in writing it in 1349. A Latin work, De naturis rerum, of the Dominican Thomas of Cantimpré (d. 1263), served as model.[2]

In his writings Conrad shows himself to be a strong adherent of the pope, an opponent of the philosophy of Occam, and a stern critic of the moral failings of his age and of the clergy.
