Francesco de Vieri

Francesco de' Vieri, also known as Verino the Second (1524 – 1591), was an Italian philosopher.

First page of the Liber (1586)

He was the nephew of "Verino the First" Francesco de' Vieri. Like his homonymous ancestor, he was professor of logic and philosophy at the University of Pisa, and actively involved in the Accademia Fiorentina.^[1]

He was criticized by colleagues for his longing for a new Platonic Academy following Giovanni Pico della Mirandola. His main opponent was Girolamo Borro.^[2]
