Marcantonio Zimara
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Marco Antonio Zimara (c. 1460 – 1532), was an Italian Renaissance philosopher.
He was born in Galatina (Lecce) and from 1497 studied philosophy at the University of Padua under Agostino Nifo and Pietro Pomponazzi. He subsequently taught logic while studying medicine at Padua (1501–1505), and in 1509 was appointed professor of natural philosophy. From 1509 to 1518 Zimara lived in San Pietro in Galatina, after which he taught in Salerno (1518–1522), Naples (1522–1523), and again at Padua (1525–1528).
Zimara edited works by medieval philosophers (notably Albertus Magnus) and is known for publishing Aristotle's and Averroës' works with commentaries during his lifetime. His Tabula dilucidationum in dictis Aristotelis et Averrois (1537), became the principal scholarly tool for searching the works of Aristotle and Averroës.
