Albert of Saxony (1316–90), terminist logician from lower Saxony who taught in the arts faculty at Paris, 1351–62. He never finished his theology degree, as, under the influence of Buridan and Nicholas of Oresme, he turned to mathematics, physics, and logic. He was a founder of the University of Vienna in 1365 and was bishop of Halberstadt from 1366. His works on logic include Logic, Questions on the Posterior Analytics, Sophismata, Treatise on Obligations, and Insolubilia. He also wrote questions on Aristotle’s physical works and on John of Sacrobosco’s De Sphaera, and short treatises on squaring the circle and on the ratio of the diameter to the side of a square. His work is competent but rarely original. See also TERMINIST LOGIC. J.Lo.
