See also:ALEXANDER OF See also:HALES (ALEXANDER HALENSIS) , surnamed See also:DOCTOR IRREFRAGABILIS, THEOLOGORUM MONARCHA and FONS VITAE, a celebrated See also:English theologian of the 13th See also:century, was See also:born in See also:Gloucestershire. Trained in the monastery of Hales he was See also:early raised to an archdeaconry. He went, like most of the scholars of his See also:day, to study at See also:Paris, where he took the degree of doctor and became celebrated as a teacher. It is generally held that he taught See also:Bonaventura, See also:Duns Scotus and See also:- THOMAS
- THOMAS (c. 1654-1720)
- THOMAS (d. 110o)
- THOMAS, ARTHUR GORING (1850-1892)
- THOMAS, CHARLES LOUIS AMBROISE (1811-1896)
- THOMAS, GEORGE (c. 1756-1802)
- THOMAS, GEORGE HENRY (1816-187o)
- THOMAS, ISAIAH (1749-1831)
- THOMAS, PIERRE (1634-1698)
- THOMAS, SIDNEY GILCHRIST (1850-1885)
- THOMAS, ST
- THOMAS, THEODORE (1835-1905)
- THOMAS, WILLIAM (d. 1554)
Thomas See also:Aquinas, but a comparison of See also:dates makes it clear that the two latter could not have been his pupils and that the statementaboutBonaventura is open to doubt. In 1222 (or 1231, see Denifle, Chartul. Univers. Paris, Paris, 1889, i. 135) Alexander entered the See also:- ORDER
- ORDER (through Fr. ordre, for earlier ordene, from Lat. ordo, ordinis, rank, service, arrangement; the ultimate source is generally taken to be the root seen in Lat. oriri, rise, arise, begin; cf. " origin ")
- ORDER, HOLY
order of Minorite Friars and thenceforward lived in strict seclusion. He refused, however, to renounce his degree of doctor, and was the first of his order who continued to See also:bear that See also:title after See also:initiation. He died in 1245 and was buried in the See also:convent of the See also:Cordeliers at Paris. His most celebrated See also:work was the Summa Theologiae (See also:Nuremberg, 1452; See also:Venice, 1576; See also:Cologne, 1611), undertaken by the orders of See also:Pope See also:Innocent IV. and approved by Alexander IV., on the See also:report of seventy learned theologians, as a See also:system of instruction for all the See also:schools in Christendom. The See also:form is that of question and See also:answer, and the method is rigidly scholastic. Of small See also:intrinsic value, it is interesting partly as the first philosophical contribution of the See also:Franciscans who were afterwards to take a prominent See also:part in See also:medieval thought (see See also:SCHOLASTICISM), and partly as the first work based on a knowledge of the whole
Aristotelian corpus and the Arabian commentators.
