Abstract

August 9, 1534, died in Rome Jacopo de Vio do Gaeta. More of us will recognize him when it is stated that he changed his baptismal name Jacob or James to Thomas when, in 1484, he entered the Dominican Order, fifteen years old, and that later as cardinal be was known by a derivative of the name of his native city, Cajetan. Even in Roman Catholic circles this anniversary was remembered only "among the more erudite of the European reviews" for his "treatises and commentaries, that are the delight of experts in Thomistic lore," as the Commonweal points out.
