Antonio Trombetta

Antonio Trombetta (1436 – 6 March 1517) was a Roman Catholic prelate and Scotist philosopher who served as Bishop of Urbino (1511–1514).

[4] On 7 November 1511, he was appointed during the papacy of Pope Julius II as Bishop of Urbino.

[1][5] He was a member of the papal commission that drafted the bull Apostolici Regiminis approved at the Fifth Council of the Lateran on 17 December 1513.

In 1498 he published an attack on Averroes's theory of the unity of the intellect and those contemporaries at Padua, namely Vernia and Nifo, who defended it philosophically.

Trombetta was frequently involved in debate with the eminent Thomist philosopher Thomas Cajetan, who bitterly attacked him in his commentary on Aquinas' De ente et essentia.
