Paolo da Pergola

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Paolo da Pergola[1] (died 1455, in Venice) was an Italian humanist philosopher, mathematician and Occamist[2] logician. He was a pupil of Paul of Venice.[3]

His most important work was probably De sensu composito et diviso.[4] His logical works were printed early.[5]

He taught at the Scuola di Rialto from 1421 to 1454.[6] He was teacher and friend of the glassmaker Antonio Barovier.[7]

Among his pupils was also Nicoletto Vernia, a well known professor of philosophy in Padua.[8]

There is a memorial to him in San Giovanni Elemosinario, Venice.[9]
