  • Thispaperis intended to prove that Thomas Aquinas usedthe rhetorical device of cursusin specificsections of texts. In those chapters where he wanted to enhance the rhetorical style –like prologues and dedications –cursusis frequently found. On the contrary, it is absent or at least not used intentionallyin the philosophical prose, which is full of argumentation vocabulary.
