Anton Charles Pegis (August 24, 1905 – May 13, 1978) was an American philosopher and historian of philosophy in the tradition of Thomas Aquinas. Pegis was the earliest of what would become a prominent group of historians of medieval philosophy, including Joseph Owens and Armand Maurer, who studied under Étienne Gilson and spent the majority of their careers teaching at the Pontifical Institute of Mediaeval Studies.[3] Pegis served as president of the Institute from 1946 to 1952.
