Mediaeval quaecumque

[Ali Nikzad]

Aquinas wrote in Summa Theologiae I-II, q. 94 a. 2:

illud quod primo cadit in apprehensione, est ens, cuius intellectus includitur in omnibus quaecumque quis apprehendit

My question is about quaecumque: whether it is neuter plural accusative and therefore the direct object of apprehendit, or it is feminine singular nominative and linked to quis which probably results in that quaecumque quis altogether means no matter who.

whether it is neuter plural accusative and therefore the direct object of apprehendit

That's it.

or it is feminine singular nominative and linked to quis which probably results in that quaecumque quis altogether means no matter who.

No, that is not a possibility.

 

[Ali Nikzad]

Thank you. Then, is it plural due to the plurality of omnibus?

 

[Pacifica]

Yes.
