At Paris, we know that Gilles Charronelle, a Dominican, had, in , already taught Thomism for twenty years. His student, Pierre Crockaert, at first a nominalist, converted to Thomism after entering the Domincans at Saint-Jacques, and taught the Summa from  onwards. In , the general chapter of Valladolid probably echoed this practice when it ordered Saint-Jacques to teach three lessons per day from Saint Thomas (tres lectiones quotidie de sancto Thoma) to the students sent from other houses to study there. On the other hand, at the University of Louvain [where St. Robert taught] we will have to wait until  for the Summa to replace the Sentences in its curriculum. By this time, the tradition of commentaries and of commentators had already won acclaim.
