Description

I saw the exhibit on Jefferson's library in the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C. Interestingly, he had some St. Thomas More volumes (e.g., Utopia), and of course this history of Spain 🇪🇸 by Juan de Mariana, S.J. He had a volume on the Council of Trent, too. But (not surprisingly for a deist who deleted all Jesus's miracles from his butchered New Testament translation) no St. Thomas Aquinas.
