This in-depth study of Thomas Aquinas' Quaestio de attributis (In I
Sent., d. 2, q. 1, a. 3) binds together the findings of previous
research on the unique history of this text by reconstructing the
historical circumstances surrounding its composition, shows that
the Quaestio contains Aquinas' final answer to the dispute on the
divine attributes, and thoroughly examines his interpretation of
Maimonides' position on the issue of the knowledge of God by
analysing this and other texts related to it chronologically and
doctrinally. The examination of the Quaestio reveals the background
of Thomas Aquinas' renewed interest in Maimonides' position on the
issue and brings to light elements of Aquinas' interpretation that
are absent from his earlier references to Maimonides. Attributis to
other Thomistic works with explicit references to Maimonides
enables a reconstruction of his comprehensive approach to
Maimonides' teaching on the possibility and extent of the knowledge
of God in the Guide of the Perplexed and highlights the place of
Maimonides' philosophical teachings in Thomas' own thought in
issues like Being as the proper name of God, the multiplicity of
the divine names, the beatific vision in the afterlife, the causes
that prevent the instruction of the multitude in divine matters and
the role of faith and prophecy in the acquisition of the true
knowledge of God in this life. The last chapter examines the
reasons behind Aquinas' silencing of Maimonides' name when
introducing his Five Ways for the knowledge of the existence of
God, in spite of the evident relation between these and Maimonides'
Four Speculations. the Quaestio de attributis with an English
translation and the critical edition of several chapters of the
13th Century Latin translation of the Guide of the Perplexed known
as Dux neutrorum.
