My Aquinas prof last year gave us this sample of Aquinas's writing and I was utterly amazed at how difficult it was to read. I recently came across it and thought I'd post it to the blog, so that's how this started.

This isn't one of those blogs that gives away free gifts to acquire more readers. Unfortunately! ;-)</p> You win Rob!
