The volume provides a first comprehensive study on the so-called Lectura Thomasina, a commentary on the Sentences written by William of Peter of Godin at the beginning of the 14th century. The conspicuous number of verbatim quotations from Thomas Aquinas’ writings makes the text a very interesting case study: Godin does not aim at writing a mere collection of Aquinas’ dicta, but rather a sort of “Thomistic” teaching handbook. This peculiarity makes the Lectura Thomasina a fundamental piece to the mosaic of the reworking of Aquinas in late medieval teaching activity before his canonization. The first section of the volume is devoted to a textual analysis of the Lectura and its sources. The second section examines certain themes in Godin’s theology and philosophy. The last section is devoted to Godin’s influence on the Dominican tradition

Abstract
The volume provides a first comprehensive study on the so-called Lectura Thomasina, a commentary on the Sentences written by William of Peter of Godin at the beginning of the 14th century. The conspicuous number of verbatim quotations from Thomas Aquinas’ writings makes the text a very interesting case study: Godin does not aim at writing a mere collection of Aquinas’ dicta, but rather a sort of “Thomistic” teaching handbook. This peculiarity makes the Lectura Thomasina a fundamental piece to the mosaic of the reworking of Aquinas in late medieval teaching activity before his canonization. The first section of the volume is devoted to a textual analysis of the Lectura and its sources. The second section examines certain themes in Godin’s theology and philosophy. The last section is devoted to Godin’s influence on the Dominican traditionI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
