ST. Thomas Aquinas, who lived in the 13th century, still commands respect up to this day. He would be known as the patron saint of Catholic schools and universities, the Angelic Doctor, and by many other titles meant to exalt him. Scholars and educators would also attribute his splendor to his being prolific, having written thousands of pages of disciplined argumentation.

But I remember my philosophy teacher telling us: "Do not be overly amazed by what Aquinas wrote. See how his work is built up by his rich sources. You can understand him better by paying attention to the sources that are likely to have influenced his thinking."
