Additional Details



Work by a 13th-century Flemish Dominican encyclopedist on ideal qualities of the clergy, " . . . a tissue of monkish tales and gossip, instances of special providence, apparitions of the dead and of demons, and other miracles and moralities, most of which are supposed to have occurred in Thomas's own time and are recounted upon hearsay"--Thorndike II, 381. Sarton II, 592-93.<
