No doubt the answer depends on which theory one is talking about and the circumstances of its diffusion. In this paper the focus is on Thomas Aquinas’s theory of the passiones animae and its influence on the writings of two of Thomas’s disciples, Remigio dei Girolami and William of Tocco. Thomas’s theory very likely did have some impact on the ways in which his disciples thought and wrote about emotions, but only in attenuated fashion.
