Tommaso Maria Zigliara
Tommaso Maria Zigliara OP (original name: Francesco Zigliara ; born October 29, 1833 in Bonifacio , Corsica , † May 11, 1893 in Rome ) was a Dominican priest, theologian, philosopher and cardinal .
Life
Zigliara was born in Bonifacio , a port city on Corsica . He received his first training in his hometown from the Jesuit Aloysius Piras. At the age of eighteen he was inducted into the Dominican order in Rome . He took the vows in 1852 and studied philosophy at the "Collegium of St. Thomas Aquinas" (Collegium Divi Thomae) , the later University of St. Thomas Aquinas . From the beginning, Zigliara showed above-average talent. He completed his studies in Perugia , where he was on May 17, 1856 by Archbishop Gioacchino Pecci, later Pope Leo XIII. who was ordained a priest .
career
Soon after his ordination, the young priest was called to teach philosophy, first in Rome, then in Corbara in Corsica, and later in the diocesan seminary in Viterbo , where he also became master novice at the Gradi convent.
Then he was called to Rome and again novice master. Zigliara taught at the Collegium Divi Thomae from 1870 to 1879 and was also the governor of the college from 1873. In 1873, however, the Order was forced by the Italian government to abandon the Minerva convent , and Zigliara found refuge with the professors and students among the Spiritans in the French seminary in Rome. There the lectures continued until a house at Minerva could be used. This made Zigliara's reputation known in Rome. French, Italian, German, English, and American bishops endeavored to place their most promising students and professors under his care.
Zigliara was also involved in the writing of the encyclicals that established the renaissance of Thomism and answered the modernist crisis ( Aeterni patris , Rerum Novarum, etc.)
There was already a close friendship between Cardinal Pecci and Zigliara, and when Pecci was elected Pope, he appointed Zigliara cardinal deacon with the title Santi Cosma e Damiano in his first consistory on May 12, 1879 . In 1893 he was appointed Cardinal Bishop of Frascati . However, due to an illness that led to death on May 11, 1893, he never received episcopal ordination . He was buried in the Roman cemetery of Campo Verano .
Works
He was a member of seven Roman congregations , besides working as prefect of the study congregation and as co-president of the Academy of St. Thomas Aquinas . Through his teaching and his writings he became one of the pioneers in the renaissance of Thomistic philosophy.
Zigliara was considered a man of deep piety and devotion and was a tireless learner until the end of his life. One of his main works is the edition of the Editio Leonina of the works of Thomas Aquinas. The first volume still contains his own commentary. He also published the Propaedeutica ad Sacram Theologiam and worked on an extensive work on the sacraments , of which only the treatise on baptism and confession appeared before his death. The most important of his works, however, is his Summa Philosophica in the tradition of Goudin and Roselli, which is still used in many translations worldwide today.
