 In 1240, Thomas of Cantimpré is finally back in Leuven, where – thanks to his studies – he is nominated "Magister" of philosophy and theology, a role that he covered with great distinction.Then, in 1246, Thomas becomes "sub-prior" and "lector" at Leuven.Moved by the Dominican's distrust of studies in generale, or maybe by some sort of "conversion", Thomas dedicates the last part of his life to preaching.
