The article analyses Giles of Rome’s criticism of Ibn Gabirol’s philosophical positions. The most relevant points that Giles dismisses proceed from the ontology and cosmology of the Fons vitae: the role of matter and the pluralist theory of substantial forms. Notwithstanding his criticism, Giles of Rome is close to Ibn Gabirol: in his attempt to distance himself from Thomas Aquinas, he establishes a real distinction between being and essence.
