Abstract

Pietro d’Afeltro was a teacher of philosophy and medicine at the University (Studio) of Naples. He probably belonged to the circle of Giovanni Pontano. He took an anti-Scotist position in philosophy. He published works principally on the Physics and Metaphysics of Aristotle, accompanied by the Long Commentaries of Averroes.
