3.1 Thomas Thomas adulēscēns a young man studiōsus studious in in monastēriō monastery Cassinēnsī of Monte Cassino habitābat lived
3.2 Ūnō on one diē day cum when per through montēs mountains altōs high ambulābat he was walking eremītam hermit venerābilem venerable invēnit he found
3.3 Senex the old man sapiēns wise sub under arbore tree antīquā ancient sedēbat was sitting et and librōs books multōs many habēbat had
3.4 Thomas Thomas ad to senem the old man accessit approached et and reverenter reverently salūtāvit greeted
3.5 Eremīta the hermit iuvenem the young man aspēxit looked at et and quaestiōnem question gravem serious prōposuit proposed
3.6 Utrum whether scientia knowledge sine without fide faith ad to vēritātem truth dūcere to lead possit is able quaesīvit he asked
3.7 Thomas Thomas paulisper for a little while cōgitāvit thought et and distinguendum it must be distinguished esse to be respondit replied
3.8 Scientia knowledge enim indeed dupliciter in two ways dīcitur is said inquit he said iuvenis the young man
3.9 Ūnō in one modō way scientia knowledge est is cognitiō cognition rērum of things per through causās causes proximās proximate
3.10 Aliō in another modō way scientia knowledge est is cognitiō cognition rērum of things in in ordine order ad to fīnem end ultimum ultimate
3.11 Prīmō in the first modō way scientia knowledge sine without fide faith prōcēdere to proceed potest is able
3.12 Secundō in the second modō way scientia knowledge fide by faith perficitur is perfected et and ad to Deum God ōrdinātūr is ordered
3.13 Eremīta the hermit hīs these things audītīs having been heard magnō with great gaudiō joy affectus affected est was
3.14 Vērē truly inquit he said senex the old man distinguere to distinguish scīs you know et and hoc this est is fundāmentum foundation sapientiae of wisdom
3.15 Nam for omnis all error error ex from cōnfūsiōne confusion terminōrum of terms orītur arises
3.16 Quī he who bene well distinguit distinguishes bene well docet teaches et and vēritātem truth invenīre to find potest is able
3.17 Eremīta the hermit tunc then librum book pretiōsum precious ex from librīs books suīs his sēlēgit selected
3.18 Hunc this librum book tibi to you dō I give inquit he said nam for Aristotelēs Aristotle est is quī who philosophōs philosophers omnēs all superat surpasses
3.19 Hunc this lege read inquit he said sed but semper always in in lūmine light fidei of faith interpretāre interpret
3.20 Ratiō reason enim indeed et and fidēs faith nōn not pugnant fight sed but in into ūnum one conveniunt come together
3.21 Thomas Thomas librum the book reverenter reverently accēpit received et and grātiās thanks maximās very great ēgit gave
3.22 Ab from illō that diē day iuvenis the young man Aristotelem Aristotle studiōsē studiously legēbat was reading
3.23 Sed but semper always permīsit he allowed sacram sacred doctrīnam doctrine scientiam knowledge philosophicam philosophical regere to rule
3.24 Posterī descendants Thomam Thomas Doctōrem Doctor Angelicum Angelic appellābant were calling
3.25 Nam for ille he fidem faith et and ratiōnem reason mīrābiliter wonderfully in into ūnum one coniunxerat had joined
3.1 Thomas adulēscēns studiōsus in monastēriō Cassinēnsī habitābat.
3.2 Ūnō diē cum per montēs altōs ambulābat eremītam venerābilem invēnit.
3.3 Senex sapiēns sub arbore antīquā sedēbat et librōs multōs habēbat.
3.4 Thomas ad senem accessit et reverenter salūtāvit.
3.5 Eremīta iuvenem aspēxit et quaestiōnem gravem prōposuit.
3.6 Utrum scientia sine fide ad vēritātem dūcere possit quaesīvit.
3.7 Thomas paulisper cōgitāvit et distinguendum esse respondit.
3.8 Scientia enim dupliciter dīcitur inquit iuvenis.
3.9 Ūnō modō scientia est cognitiō rērum per causās proximās.
3.10 Aliō modō scientia est cognitiō rērum in ordine ad fīnem ultimum.
3.11 Prīmō modō scientia sine fide prōcēdere potest.
3.12 Secundō modō scientia fide perficitur et ad Deum ōrdinātūr.
3.13 Eremīta hīs audītīs magnō gaudiō affectus est.
3.14 Vērē inquit senex distinguere scīs et hoc est fundāmentum sapientiae.
3.15 Nam omnis error ex cōnfūsiōne terminōrum orītur.
3.16 Quī bene distinguit bene docet et vēritātem invenīre potest.
3.17 Eremīta tunc librum pretiōsum ex librīs suīs sēlēgit.
3.18 Hunc librum tibi dō inquit nam Aristotelēs est quī philosophōs omnēs superat.
3.19 Hunc lege inquit sed semper in lūmine fidei interpretāre.
3.20 Ratiō enim et fidēs nōn pugnant sed in ūnum conveniunt.
3.21 Thomas librum reverenter accēpit et grātiās maximās ēgit.
3.22 Ab illō diē iuvenis Aristotelem studiōsē legēbat.
3.23 Sed semper permīsit sacram doctrīnam scientiam philosophicam regere.
3.24 Posterī Thomam Doctōrem Angelicum appellābant.
3.25 Nam ille fidem et ratiōnem mīrābiliter in ūnum coniunxerat.
