To fruitfully understand Thomism (the thought of St. Thomas Aquinas and praised as a sure antidote to Modernism), one however must have more than a basic knowledge of Latin, but a guide to assist in grasping the philosophical and theological syntaxes employed by the Church’s Angelic Doctor and thereby receive the full meaning of a phrase in its particular context. |

Dr. Deferrari’s monumental 1200 page
Lexicon of St. Thomas Aquinas is that ready guide! Based on the greatest of the doctor
communis’ works, as outlined in the Foreword, each word as it appears in the
Summa Theologica (et al) is followed by the different English meanings with which it is used, followed in turn by some illustrations of its use in each meaning taken from the works of St. Thomas.
