Abstract
The study of the first generation of students of Thomas Aquinas has remained quite unexplored. Studies of Thomas’s first students are particularly important for knowing how the thought of the Doctor communis was transmitted and in what areas. Therefore, this paper also enters this area of research. The article first shows how for centuries it has been pointed out in various sources that Augustin Kažotić was a direct student of Thomas Aquinas and that he attended his lectures while studying at the University of Paris. The author then doctrinally analyse the context of Augustin’s stay in Paris to study, showing that Thomas’s teaching was still vividly present in academic circles. The author further confirms that the Dominican Order played an important role in the growth of the doctrinal influence of Thomas Aquinas and shows that Augustin Kažotić also contributed to this. Therefore, the author analyzes Kažotić’s connection with Thomas Aquinas in several doctrinal areas. Finally, he judges the contribution of Augustin Kažotić to the canonization of Thomas Aquinas. The article confirms that the life and work of Augustin Kažotić is a significant testimony to the knowledge of the transmission of the thoughts of St. Thomas Aquinas, especially in the period before his canonization.
