 It appears that some of the Dominican authorities already had concerns about Eckhart's teaching.The Dominican General Chapter held in Venice in the spring of 1325 had spoken out against "friars in Teutonia who say things in their sermons that can easily lead simple and uneducated people into error".This concern (or perhaps concerns held by the archbishop of Cologne, Henry of Virneburg) may have been why Nicholas of Strasbourg, to whom the pope had in 1325 given the temporary charge of the Dominican friaries in Germany, conducted an investigation of Eckhart's orthodoxy.
