Conrad of Mure, also often referred to as Conrad of
Muri (c. 1210 – 30 March 1281), was rector of the diocesan school attached to the
Zurich Minster and author of a number of important treatises on
rhetoric and
poetry. His Summa de arte prosandi (1275–1276) is one of the most learned introductions to the art of letter writing in the
Middle Ages.[1][2]
