Excerpt of transcription from Book #3 of Suma Theologe
"St. Thomas Aquinas" by unknown transcriber 1436 [Ecclesiastical Latin]
Notes: Pay attention to handwritten notes in the right margin. St. Thomas used a form of shorthand in his original work, transcribed here, with accent marks over shortened words which was a means of increasing writing speed. Later translations have the expanded text for comparison.
