Rijk, Lambert M. de, "On the life of Peter of Spain, the author of the Tractatus, called afterwards Summule Logicales", Vivarium, 8 (1970), 123-154.

Resum

"Before an attempt will be made to sketch the life of the author of the so-called Summule, a preliminary question of major importance should be answered: is the author identical with Peter of Spain (Petrus Hispanus) who in 1276 became Pope under the name John XI? An alternative question may be added whether, or not, the famous logician was a Black friar, as was sometimes maintained [...] However, other strong evidence can be put forward in support of the traditional view that Peter Hispanus who afterwards bore the tiara was the author of the Summule. Since Pope John XXI certainly was a secular priest, the identification implies an absolute rejection of any member of a religious Order as the author of the work". (pp. 125-127)
