William of Godin on the Knowability of God. A Critical Edition and Study of His Commentary on the Sentences (Book I, Distinction 2)

Journal Title: Przegląd Tomistyczny - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue

Abstract

William’s Commentary on the Sentences, sometimes called the Lectura Thomasina, was perceived in the Middle Ages as faithful and adequate exposition of Thomas Aquinas’ theology, hence a closer look at the contents of this previously unedited text has been postulated by medievalists, especially those interested in the Thomistic tradition. This study first characterizes the manuscripts containing the Lectura, then analyses the dependence of William’s work on John Quidort’s Commentary and Aquinas’ Summa theologiae, before finally providing a critical edition of Distinction 2 from Book I. 80% of the text of the Lectura is based on Quidort’s earlier Commentary and its doctrinal contents follow the solutions proposed by St Aquinas.
