Thomas of Sutton

Thomas of Sutton [Thomas de Sutton, Thomas de Suttona, Thomas de Sutona, Thomas de Suthona, Thomas Anglicus.] (died after 1315) was an English Dominican theologian, an early Thomist [ [http://www.fordham.edu/gsas/phil/klima/TS.htm Gyula Klima, "Thomas of Sutton on the Nature of the Intellective Soul and the Thomistic Theory of Being"] ] . He wrote a large number of works, in some of which he opposed Duns Scotus [Hester Goodenough Gelber, "It Could Have Been Otherwise: Contingency and Necessity in Dominican" (2004),p. 34.] .

He was ordained as deacon in 1274 by Walter Giffard, and joined the Dominicans in the 1270s; he may have been a Fellow of Merton College, Oxford before that. He became doctor of theology in 1282. ["The History of the University of Oxford" (1984), p. 466.] .
