scholar and exponent of
Aquinas
. He entered the Dominican order in 1484 against his parents' wishes, and became a prolific author, with more than 100 works attributed to him. The best-known,
De Ente et Essentia
, attacked
Averroism
. He strongly defended the monarchical authority of the

of Aquinas led to a revival of Thomism.
