Abstract
A Spanish theologian and philosopher, now partially forgotten, he was a pupil of Bañez and Medina, among the greatest representatives of the so-called Salamanca School, and one of the main intellectuals of the Spanish Counter-Reformation. A great expert on Medieval and Renaissance scholastic thought, he took a strong stand against the decline of scholasticism and set out to restore Aristotelian philosophy in line with the interpretation of it given by Thomas Aquinas. In 1587 he published his Metaphysica Disputatio de Ente et eius proprietatibus, where he deals in a detailed and systematic way with the main problems of Aristotelian metaphysics.
