Aquinas, Thomas
Summa Theologica
1475
One of only three known copies in the world. One in the British Museum in London and the other in the Newbury in
Chicago. This is the most perfect of the three.
The work is divided into three parts, which can be said to deal with God, Man and the God-Man. The first two of these
sections is wholly Aquinas' work but only the first 90 questions of the third, the remainder of which was finished in his
fashion after his death. Aquinas intended Summa Theologica to be the sum of all known learning, arranged according to
the best method, and subordinate to the dictates of the church, explained according to the philosophy of Aristotle and
his Arabian commentators.
