William of Lucca (Guglielmo da Lucca) (died 1178 AD) was an Italian theologian and scholastic philosopher. He taught at Bologna, in the third quarter of the twelfth century.[1]
He wrote a commentary on The Divine Names of Pseudo-Dionysius,[2] combining ideas from Gilbert de la Porrée with those of Eriugena.[3] He is also the presumed author of Summa artis dialectice, a textbook of logic, influenced by Abelard.[4][5]
