Compendium of the Summa Theologica of St Thomas Aquinas: Pars Prima

Saint Thomas Aquinas (1225 - 1274), Bernardus Bonjoannes ( - 1574) et al.
Translated by Carlo Falcini (1848 - 1928)

This Compendium, written in the sixteenth century, has several advantages over later ones; the subject matter being so condensed as to exhibit the connection of doctrine forcibly and clearly, divested of the "Objections" and other peculiarities of form which might divert the modern reader from the main point. It is a book suitable either for meditation, or for spiritual reading of a more substantial and efficient character than is to be found in many of our modern books of devotion. An appendix has been added containing a few notes for the benefit of such as may be unacquainted with the terms of Scholastic Philosophy. Note: This work is different to Thomas Aquinas' own abridgment of the Summa known as the "Compendium of Theology". - Summary from Introduction
