Gasper Grima

Gasper Grima (c. 1680–1745) was a minor Maltese philosopher who specialised mainly in metaphysics and logic.

Grima taught philosophy and theology at Sicily, and even occupied high offices within his religious order.

He lectured at the College of Philosophy and Literature which the Franciscans had at Rabat, Malta until his retirement and death.

Though no precise dates are known for when these manuscripts were composed, they are believed to come from some time during the period 1720/45.

Though they are Aristotelian and Scholastic in style and content, they are not of the Thomistic hue, but rather Scotist.
