Abstract
Nicolaus Scutellius of Trent (1490–1542), an Augustinian friar and protégé of Giles of Viterbo (1469–1532), as well as a prominent Hellenist and translator of Greek Neoplatonic writings into Latin, is notable for his passionate participation in Renaissance controversies about Plato and Aristotle. In modern scholarly literature, the only discussion of the life and works of this almost unknown and rather marginal figure in the history of European thought are found in the studies of John Monfasani.
