Title: Henry of Ghent's Summa
Description: The three articles from Henry of Ghent's Summa of Ordinary Questions translated in this volume are the first that deal with the Trinity. They follow upon Henry's treatment of the divine attributes in articles forty-one to fifty-two. Article fifty-three asks ten questions about the sense in which a person exists in God, and article fifty-four asks ten questions about the emanations or processions of one divine person from another, while article fifty-five asks six questions about the properties or notions of the divine persons. Henry explains that he will firstly deal with the persons in general in articles fifty-three and fifty-four and then with the properties or notions of the persons in article fifty-five. Article fifty-three discusses the manner of the being of persons in God and article fifty-four is concerned with the manner of one person's emanating from another.
