This is Thomas’s letter to Margaret of Flanders, often known as his “Letter on the Treatment of the Jews.” The letter does, in fact, discuss how a ruler should deal with Jews living in a land during the 1200’s (although it touches on other issues, as well). I made this translation from the Leonine Edition, left Thomas’s sometimes turgid text alone as much as possible, and added only the biblical references he makes into the body of the text.

What should be done about the lack of something like the now-defunct Rassegna di letteratura tomistica? I had some ideas that I published a couple years back. Take a look and let me know what you think.

Thomas’s socius continuus wrote a note about the contents of a certain manuscript copy of the Tertia pars of the Summa theologiae, which gives us precious insight into the construction of that part of the Summa and, more importantly, where we might go to get tbe best text of the Tertia pars.
