“All who desire to know Saint Thomas personally would do well to read this striking account of his life.” —Fr. Paul Robinson
This work was used as part of Saint Thomas Aquinas' canonization procedure. Angelus Press is now publishing it in English for the first time in history.
While most Catholics are familiar with St. Thomas Aquinas' writings, little is known about the saint himself... until now. This illuminating biography of St. Thomas Aquinas is being published in English for the first time after being written seven centuries ago. Its author, Brother William of Tocco, based his biography on his own interactions with the saint and conversations with many people who knew him.
The fascinating account of the Angelic Doctor's life, including his captivity by his family; his incredible abilities of abstraction and memory; his rebuttal of heresies and heroic virtues; his levitation and other miracles; and his saintly death, is told in an easy-to-read translation.
This book provides a fascinating firsthand narrative of St. Thomas Aquinas's invisible life, allowing us to better comprehend the family, friends, and era that created one of the greatest thinkers of all time.
