The so-called <i>Lectura Thomasina</i>, a commentary on Peter Lombard’s <i>Sentences</i>, was composed by the Dominican William of Peter of Godin at the beginning of the 14th century. The manuscript tradition provides the text with the title <i>‘Thomasina’</i> because of the large number of verbatim quotations from Aquinas’ writings. This text is not a mere compilation of Aquinas’ <i>dicta</i> but represents an attempt to outline the fundamental elements of Thomas’ doctrine, giving them both unity and coherence. For this reason, Godin’s commentary is an important witness to the reception of Aquinas’ texts during the period between his death and his canonization.

 

In this part of his <i>Sentences</i> commentary (distinctions 28-48), Godin deals with some central themes of scholastic theology, such as divine persons, divine knowledge, angels and their location, providence, predestination, and divine will.
