Raphael's fresco The School of Athens depicts Plato and Aristotle surrounded by a cornucopia of ancient sages, scientists, philosophers and mathematicians, including the one shown here writing in a large book. Who is he? (It's an ironic choice of depiction, since no works of his survive and it's unclear that he ever wrote anything down.)
