Pietro d'Abano, also known as Petrus de Apono, Petrus Aponensis or Peter of Abano[1] (c. 1257[2][3] – 1316), was an Italian philosopher, astrologer, and professor of medicine in Padua.[4] He was born in the Italian town from which he takes his name, now Abano Terme. He gained fame by writing Conciliator Differentiarum, quae inter Philosophos et Medicos Versantur. He was eventually accused of heresy and atheism, and came before the Inquisition. He died in prison in 1315 (some sources say 1316[5]) before the end of his trial.[6]
