Did Saint Paul meet the twelve disciples?

A:

In his epistles, Paul says he met Peter, as well as James, brother of Jesus. He definitely seems not to have met any of the other apostles. In Galatians 1:11-12, Paul even said that he did not receive the gospel from any man, only by revelation from God - something he could not have said if he had spent any time at all with the other apostles.

On the other hand, Acts of the Apostles (Acts 9:19) says that Paul was taught the gospel by the disciples. George Wells (Evidence for the Historical Jesus) quotes A. J. Mattill as saying that the dominant view of Acts' presentation of Paul is that in Acts and the epistles there are two Pauls, the historical Paul of the authentic epistles and the legendary Paul of Acts.
