de Incarnationis motivo : DjVu/PDF pp. 158ff.
pp. 310-11 cites (after quoting St. Albert's view) the interesting: Alexandr. Halens,, Sum. Theol. , dist. 3, q. iii, mem. 13. (which I hope Critical Reprints's ed. has!), saying:

Alexander Halensis id solum evincit Incarnationem, etiam secluso motivo redemptionis, esse adhuc convenientissimam ut Deus summum bonum se maxime diffundat et totam humanam, partem nempe et intellectivam et sensitivam, beatificet.

Alexander Hales proves the Incarnation, even excluding the motive of the redemption, to be still most fitting, because God the supreme good maximally diffuses himself [Scholastic axiom 3.10: "Bonum est diffusivum sui", Summa Theologica I q. 27 a. 5 arg. 2 (major premise)] and blesses the entire man—namely, both his intellectual and sensory parts.

cf. "Theologians who thought Christ incarnated primarily to reveal the doctrine of the Trinity?"
