EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history, showcasing St. Thomas Aquinas defending the mendicant orders against the attacks of the University of Paris and Guillaume de St. Amour. The scene takes place at an assembly of prelates and doctors held in 1256 at Anagni, presided over by Pope Alexander IV. In this wood engraving after a painting by Benozzo Gozzoli, we see St. Thomas Aquinas positioned prominently in the foreground, symbolizing his leadership and intellectual prowess during this tumultuous time. As one of the most influential philosophers and theologians of the medieval period, Aquinas stands as a beacon for scholasticism. Surrounded by other clergy members and men engaged in intense debate, Aquinas exudes confidence as he passionately defends the mendicant orders against their detractors. His presence is both commanding and humble simultaneously – an embodiment of his saintly nature. The image not only showcases historical figures but also provides insight into 13th-century society's intellectual climate. It highlights how even great minds like Aquinas faced opposition from established institutions such as universities. Overall, this print serves as a visual testament to St. Thomas Aquinas' enduring legacy as a leader, philosopher, and defender of religious ideals amidst challenging times.
