In this study of the relationship between Boethius and Thomas Aquinas, Ralph McInerny dispels the notion that Aquinas misunderstood the early philosopher and argues instead that he learned from Boethius, assimilated his ideas, and proved to be a reliable interpreter of his thought. McInerny makes his point that ""Boethius taught what Thomas says he taught"" through a careful analysis of Aquinas's commentary on the De trinitate and De hebdomadibus of Boethius.
