Thomas Aquinas wrote the Summa Theologica during the 13th century. The Dominican Order or Order of Preachers was a brand new association of individuals interested in Christianity, philosophy, knowledge, generation and regeneration, stories about Simon Magus and witches and the how of the transmission of knowledge moves from one individual to another. 

Aquinas began as a disciple in Rome and later moved to Paris, France. He wanted to know what moves man to do what man does-or woman. Is it God, fate, necessity, knowledge, divine providence, cause and effect or effect and cause.
