Peter of Spain (thirteenth century) occurs as Spanish author of Tractatus a standard text editiin on logic, and until recently credited by using the total of works in medicine. He besides wrote Summule logicales magistri Petri Hispani (Collection of Logic Matters of Master Peter of Spain) which has the big volume of manuscripts & printed editions. This occurs as hard indication his function enjoyed neat profits throughout European universities well into a seventeenth century. Still, Peter's avowedly identity remains unknown. It was assumed for the few instance he was a Portuguese man who around 1276 became Pope John XXI. An sooner theory asserted andy skinner of the Tractatus was Spanish, & the member of the Dominican order. More theories from either a fifteenth century point to Petrus Ferrandi Hispanus (d. between 1254 & 1259), or even the Black Friar from the late thirteenth or even early fourteenth century.
