Valentino da Camerino, O.P. (1438–1515): Teacher and Critic of Cajetan

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  29 July 2016

Extract

Valentino da Camerino is the only one of the teachers of Thomas de Vio Cajetan to be expressly mentioned by any of Cajetan's earliest biographers. Indeed, he is mentioned by only one of these, Bartolomeo Spina da Pisa. Spina had been commissioned by Cajetan to oversee the publication of the first edition of his commentary on the Pars Secunda Secundae of Aquinas's Summa Theologiae. When the work appeared on 20 August 1518, it included a preface by Spina which is largely biographical in content and laudatory in tone. The reference to Valentino as having been Cajetan's teacher was clearly intended as a compliment to Cajetan and testifies to the kind of reputation that Valentino must have enjoyed even after his death in 1515.

55 The claim was first made by Quétif and Echard, Scriptores (n. 4 above), 2: 14, who mistakenly believed that the convent of Gaeta belonged to the Congregation of Lombardy at the time of Cajetan's reception. Equally unfounded is the assertion, that Cajetan became a member of the Province (!) of Lombardy by transfiliating from the convent of Gaeta to that of Ferrara, made by Andrea Rovetta da Brescia, Bibliotheca Chronologica Provinciae Lombardiae O.P. (Bologna, 1691), 111.Google Scholar

4 Cajetan employs in his commentary the medieval, verbo e verbo, Latin translation of the De Anima confected by William of Moerbeke. Valentino prefers the Renaissance Latin translation made by Iohannes Argyropylus in 1460. Revised several times and first printed in 1496, it gradually became the standard translation. The University of Padua, nonetheless, continued to use the Moerbeke translation to the end of the sixteenth century. See Cranz, F.
