The Reception of Thomas Aquinas’ Philosophy in the Dominican studia of the Roman Province in the Fourteenth Century

A significant portion of later medieval Scholastic literature, including the works of renowned figures like Albert the Great and Thomas Aquinas, was produced in the studia or study-houses of religious orders rather than universities. These studia, more numerous and widely distributed across Europe, served as primary institutional settings for Scholastic learning in philosophy and theology during this period. The research highlights that prominent Scholastic masters often taught in both studia and other significant intellectual hubs such as the Papal Court at Avignon and various royal courts. This volume, stemming from a colloquium on medieval philosophy, explores the study and teaching of philosophy and theology in these diverse institutional contexts, offering insights into the reception of Thomas Aquinas’ philosophy within the Dominican studia of the Roman Province during the fourteenth century.
