Michael of Ephesus, also known as Michael Ephesius, was a Byzantine scholar who lived from about 1050 to 1129, remembered chiefly for his extensive commentaries on the works of Aristotle. His most notable achievement was producing the first full commentary on Aristotle's Sophistical Refutations, a work that established the standard scholarly approach to studying that text and that later commentators continued to draw on.
