Introduction
My current research interests are History of Thomism; Thomistic Logic and Metaphysics. My methods and techniques: Editions of Medievales and Renaissance Manuscripts; teaching at the Faculty of Philosophy of the Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas in Rome; research at the Institute of Philosophy of the Czech Academy of Sciences in Prague; rational reflexion on the coherence of different thomistic solution and philosophical topics. Recently I am working on the editions of Dominic of Flanders: Tractatus brevis De suppositionibus (Oxford, Bodleian Library MS Add. A 370) and Petrus Nigri: Clipeus thomistarum (MS Klosterneuburg Cod. 673; München Clm 226722, ed. Venetia 1481, 1504). I am writing a new book: Logic. Introduction to Rational Philosophy According to the Thomistic School.
