Deeply sensing the opportunities for the use of the Internet as a way to share bibliographical information, Mark Johnson wrote an article—“The Future of Thomistic Bibliography,” Doctor Angelicus 2 (2002): 193-98—about the opportunities for scholars.

Thomas Aquinas’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). Mark Johnson made a translation from the Leonine Edition's text.
