Haymo of Halberstadt and Transubstantiation

Q. Did Haymo advocate the Roman dogma of transubstantiation?


Haymo, Bishop of Halberstadt (c. ? - 853 A.D.):

That thing is no sign, of which the sign is, nor is anything called a sign of itself, but of another thing. And in general every sign, so far as it is perceived to be a sign, is different from that which it signifies. (J. P. Minge, Patrologiæ Cursus Completus, [1880], Patrologiæ Latinæ, Tomus CXVIII, Haymonis Halberstatensis Episcopi, De Corpore Et Sanguine Domini, Col. 817). Here Trans. (J. H. Treat, The Catholic Faith; Or, Doctrines of the Church of Rome Contrary to Scripture and the Teaching of the Primitive Church, [1888], p. 218). Here
