- Summary:
- "The Mortara Case and Thomas Aquinas's Defense of Jewish Parental Authority assesses the claims of both sides of the contemporary debate on Edgardo Mortara's case through an analysis of Aquinas's teaching as it is interpreted in the original Italian and Latin documents from the 1858 case, which are housed in the Vatican Apostolic Archives. The complete text of these documents are reproduced here, with facing English translations, for the first time. Tapie demonstrates that, for Aquinas, Jewish parental authority is an order of the natural law, which Aquinas likened to a spiritualis uterus (spiritual womb)"-- Provided by publisher.
