Description
Excerpt from The "Summa Theologica" Of St. Thomas Aquinas, Vol. 1: Qq. L-LXXIV
I am desired to inform you that the Holy Father has been pleased to express his gratitude on receiving from you the first volume of the Summa Of St. Thomas Aquinas, which, with the assistance of your beloved brethren of the English Province, you have most wisely determined to translate into your mother-tongue. I say most wisely,' because to translate into the language of one's country the immortal works Of St. Thomas is to give to its people a great treasure Of human and Divine knowledge, and to afford those who are desirous of Obtaining it, not only the best method of reasoning in unfolding and elucidating sacred truths, but also the most efficacious means of combating heresies. Therefore, without doubt, you have undertaken a task worthy of religious men - worthy Of the sons of St. Dominic.
