Thomas Aquinas Seminar: Saint Thomas and Dante

On Thursday, January 29 at 17:30, another Thomas Aquinas seminar will take place to mark the memorial day of Thomas Aquinas (28.01), this time dedicated to Dante. The world of thought of Saint Thomas will be opened through the eyes of Dante by Professor Ülar Ploom. As part of the event, Sven-Olav Paavel will also introduce the recently published translation of Thomas Aquinas’ explanation of the Ten Commandments and the Gospel by the Estonia publishing house. The event will take place in the John Paul II Hall at 18 Vene Street.
