Suárez and who denied the agent intellect in s. XVI: In this paper three theses on the agent intellect of various Renaissance writers are studied: a) those that deny the real distinction between one and another intellect: Jacques Lefèvre d'Étaples, Francisco Suárez, and Gabriel Vázquez. b) those who admitted only a formal distinction: Philip Melanchthon, John Velcurio and Rudolph Goclenius. c) those who accepted only one nominal distinction: Gómez Pereira, John Eck and Augustin Faba.
