Abstract:

The article deals with the ways in which St Thomas Aquinas’s texts were used by Henry Bitterfeld in his late-14th-century treatise De formatione et reformatione Ordinis Fratrum Praedicatorum. Not only is Aquinas the most often quoted authority in Bitterfeld’s writing but also his texts are the building materials for Bitterfeld. This special place of St Thomas in the treatise by the Silesian Dominican resulted from a practical realisation of the assumptions of the Dominican Observant Reform for the needs of which the analysed treatise was written, calling for the return of the Dominicans to faithful observance of the Order’s regulations. Those ordered the friars to study and propagate St Thomas’s teachings.
