Evidence ledger
- Absorbed (confidence 0.75): Aquinas wrote a full commentary on Pseudo-Dionysius's De Divinis Nominibus using John Sarracenus's 12th-century Latin translation, and the Summa's treatise on the divine names draws directly on it. (from De Divinis Nominibus)
- Absorbed (confidence 0.84): Citation-derived from Aquinas's own ingested Latin text (pattern=aquinas-citation-22484-1215-1235): Aristotle + work cue 'Perier': clear authority+work, proposing new Work 'De Interpretatione (Peri Hermeneias)'; mediated per translation channel; deployed in Aquinas's own voice (corpus)
