De qué trata
Sobre la oración y la vida contemplativa, en traducción inglesa.
Contexto e historia
Una selección de cuestiones de la Suma sobre la vida activa y la contemplativa, bajo un título de editor. Al final de su vida Tomás dejó de escribir diciendo que todo lo que había hecho le parecía paja comparado con lo que había visto; estas páginas son lo más cerca que estuvo de explicarlo. Nota sobre la edición: **esto es una parte de la Suma teológica**, no una obra independiente. El título es del editor inglés, que publicó los tratados por separado. Para citar, la Suma con su número de cuestión y artículo.
Contexto editorial, no una fuente citable: a diferencia de los pasajes de la obra, estos datos no se pueden comprobar contra el corpus.

And so this truly marvellous life went on till the end drew near. Day by day he ascended the steps of the altar, his face bathed in tears; day by day he returned to his work more and more illumined regarding the _Mysterium Fidei_, and with his soul still more closely knit to its Maker. His ecstasies became more frequent, and in one of these he was told that the close of his life was at hand. For it was at San Severino, not far from Salerno, that he fell into so prolonged an ecstasy that his sister who was present appealed to Reginald to know what had happened to her brother. Even Reginald was astonished. "He is frequently rapt in spirit," he said, "but never before have I seen him thus abstracted!" "Then," says William of Tocco, "Master Reginald went to him, and, plucking him by the cloak, roused him from this deep sleep of contemplation.…
