Sebastián Fox Morcillo
Edit Profile
Education
About 1548 he studied at Louvain, and, following the example of the Spanish Jew, Judas Abarbanel, published commentaries on Plato and Aristotle in which he endeavoured to reconcile their teaching.
Career
In 1559 he was appointed tutor to Don Carlos, son of Philip II, but did not live to take up the duties of the post, as he was lost at sea on his way to Spain. Among Fox Morcillo's publications are: (1) In Topica Ciceronis paraphrasis et scholia (1550); (2) In Platonis Timaeum com- mentarii (1554); (3) Compendium ethices philosophiae ex Platone, Aristotele, aliisque philosophis collectum; (4) De historiae in- stitutione dialogus (1557), and (5) De naturae philosophia. He is the subject of an excellent monograph by Urbano Gonzalez de Calle, Sebastian Fox Morcillo: estudio historico-critico de sus doctrinas (Madrid, 1903).
