His major work began as a commentary on a compendium by Peter of Spain, but became a standard logic textbook in its own right.  He became so famous that legends spread about him, including one which claimed that he competed with the future Pope Clement VI for the affections of a shoemaker's wife.  In his Compendium Logicae he offered a lengthy account of the way to find the middle term of a demonstration, which came to be known as a certain type of "bridge" for traversing a syllogism.  He is best known for arguing that will and intellect are not distinct faculties, which led him to conclude that the will is always determined by the stronger motive, and that when presented with equally desirable alternatives we cannot choose.  FTP, name this scholastic philosopher of the 14th century, who is associated with an indecisive ass.
