Saint Thomas Aquinas (1225–1274), nicknamed the Angelic Doctor, marked the history of Christian thought by writing the Summa Theologiae, a masterwork of scholasticism that synthesizes Christian theology and Aristotle’s philosophy. This magnificent Lyon edition attests to the diffusion and importance of Thomist thought in ecclesiastical and scholarly libraries of the modern era.

Superbe exemplaire.
