Thomas Aquinas was born the youngest son to a Sicilian noble family in 1225. Although Aquinas was
intended from a young age to become an abbot, Italian political and papal infighting redirected him to a
university in Naples, where his studies, including his earliest encounters with Aristotle, were directed by
members of the newly founded Dominican Order, an order of which Aquinas eventually became a
member despite prolonged, powerful objections from his family.
commentator and fellow Dominican, Albert Magnus, before joining the University of Paris’ faculty as
regent master in theology, during which time he began work on his Summa contra Gentiles. Upon
completion of his regency in Paris, Aquinas returned to Italy in 1259, where he was eventually called to
Rome, in 1265, by Pope Clement IV to serve as a papal theologian. While in Rome, Aquinas continued to
teach, now at a newly established Dominican school at Santa Sabina, and began to write his most famous
work, the Summa Theologiae, sometimes called the Summa Theologica.
