The scholastic philosopher and theologian Thomas Aquinas was a Dominican priest who studied under Albertus Magnus and taught in Paris for many years, known for his work in natural theology and Aristotelianism. His Summa Theologica is perhaps the most influential work of medieval philosophy. In addition to writing many philosophical works, he also composed several hymns. For more information, see:
