Many Protestant theologians think they debunk Aquinas when, in fact, they address Neothomist ideas – for instance the infamous ‘two-storey model’ of nature and grace.
Réginald Garrigou-Lagrange, a central figure of Neothomism, could be an eye opener for Protestant polemics.

Cromwell’s House in Old Marston, now part of Oxford. It was used as the Parliamentarians’ headquarters during the English Civil War. In this house, the Royalists signed their surrender in 1646 in the presence of Thomas Fairfax and Oliver Cromwell.

These are probably pen trials to check the freshly cut pen, nevertheless the shapes are extraordinarily unusual.

Condemnations of 1210–1277
The Condemnations at the medieval University of Paris were enacted to restrict certain teachings as being heretical. These included a number of medieval theological teachings, but most importantly the physical treatises of Aristotle. The investigations of these teachings were conducted by the Bishops of Paris. The Condemnations of 1277 are traditionally linked to an investigation requested by Pope John XXI, although whether he actually supported drawing up a list of condemnations is unclear.

Thomas Aquinas left a significant imprint on #Armenian theology. It is not entirely clear which of his works were available in translation. Parts of ST I/II were at least accessible as an excerpt, entitled 'On the virtues of the soul' Հաղագս Առաքինութեան Հոգւոյն:

The monastery of Tatev in Syunik province, South Armenia, was home to a famous medieval university. By integrating Scholastic influences from the neighbouring Dominican mission it created a unique synthesis of Western and Eastern thought, which is yet to be accomplished in contemporary theology.

The so-called Plan F of the western facade of the Cologne Cathedral was probably made around 1300s. This incredibly detailed drawing is so well executed that it was mostly followed by the 19th C. builders who finished the church. 1/ #manuscripts #architecture
