Excerpt from Thomas Aquinas: His Personality and Thought

Scholastic mind is probably not set for the task of translating any part of St. Thomas, the modern Scho lastic is very prone to read into his words variations of meaning that have developed in Scholastic tradi tion only after the thirteenth century. Where on a few occasions the German texts of Dr. Grabmann contained elucidating terms or phrases, rendering the thought of St. Thomas more clear to the modern mind, the translator followed suit, since there is probably no living scholar better versed in the study of St. Thomas and of Scholastic sources than Dr. Grabmann.
