L' ermeneutica metafisica di s. Tommaso nel Commento alle Sentenze

Published in 1977 by Edizioni del Seminario, this scholarly work by Battista Mondin reflects the mid-twentieth-century resurgence of interest in Thomistic studies within Italian academic circles. Mondin, a prominent Xaverian missionary and philosopher, dedicated much of his career to bridging the gap between classical scholasticism and contemporary philosophical discourse, focusing specifically on how Thomas Aquinas’s metaphysical frameworks function within his earlier theological commentaries.

The text serves as a focused investigation into the Commentaries on the Sentences of Peter Lombard, a foundational exercise for medieval theology students. Mondin’s design was to strip away later centuries of interpretative layers to uncover the core of Aquinas's metaphysical commitments. The book emerged during a period of rigorous institutional study in Italy, aimed at providing students and scholars with a structured, pedagogical access point to the complexities of scholastic language and methodology.
