medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Dear Daniel,
I asked my friend and colleague, Marika Räsänen, who has studied the
cult and relics of Thomas and she said:
"Probably the first written mention of the story about Thomas Aquinas at
the banquet table of Louis IX in in his Vita, i.e. Ystoria sancti Thome
de Aquino by Guillaume de Tocco (Cap. XLIII). According to Claire le
Brun-Gouanvic (whose excellent edition of the Life is published in
1996), Guillaume/Wilhelm wrote the Life between 1318-1323. It is based
on the canonization testimonies and other oral narrations he collected
during those years."
Best,
Meri Heinonen
