Thomas Chobham
Edit ProfileCareer
He is best known for his influential work on penance which combines Canon law, theology, and practical advice for confessors. lieutenant is known by many titles, and there has been much confusion over both author and incipit, which is often related as Cum miseratione domini. More fully and correctly, this should be "Cum miserationes domini sint super omnia".
The title is based on Psalm 144:9.
Flacius Illyricus, for example, in his entry on Thomas Aquinas in his Catalogus Testium Veritatis 1556, considers this work to be by Aquinas and gives the incipit: "Commiserationes Domini sunt super omnia".
