Positive reconstruction · reader-scoped, not an inferred-absence lacuna

This reconstruction covers the readable fraction of Thomas Aquinas's formation -- attested reading and writing only, not the whole of a life.

Thomas Aquinas (conceptual world)

A reader-scoped conceptual world reconstructed from attested reading and writing.

Dominican friar; studied at Naples and under Albert the Great at Cologne, taught twice at the University of Paris. A pre-print reader, fully inside the Inferpedia atlas's native scope -- unlike Jefferson, held in the same scope as the shared pre-print concept spine, not a separate one. He left no personal library catalogue; his reading list is reconstructed from the citation record of his own output (the 'output-internal' regime), not from attested ownership.
