Reviews"Has long been needed by theology and philosophy students. Latin students may also benefit from seeing translation of 13th century and 16th century Latin authors. This work fills a huge vacuum in theological and general scholarship."?Romanus Cessario, Ave Maria University

Volume NumberVol. 1

SynopsisWhen Leo XII promulgated Aeterni Patris in 1879, he stipulated that the "Leonine," or official, edition of the Summa should always be printed in conjunction with Cajetan's Commentary. For five hundred years they were studied together. Generations were trained by reading through the Summa article by article with Cajetan's commentaries in hand. Early printed editions of the Summa typically included them in a Talmudic arrangement, as marginal text running around each article by Aquinas. This edition imitates that example. Recently, serious thinkers of all denominations - and none - have found new reasons to be interested in St. Thomas. His text is deceptively simple, yet important issues are handled in every article, sometimes below the surface. Cajetan extracts these hidden issues, and explains and elaborates on them with remarkable affinity to modern analytical philosophy. Part of that affinity lies in the use of modal logic, a tool whose importance was overlooked between the Renaissance and the twentieth century. The time is ripe for an analytically-inspired translation of Thomas: hence these three volumes. These volumes make Cajetan's Commentary on the Prima Pars available in English for the first time. William Marshner's translation is consistent with fidelity to the technical force of the original. The translator's footnotes acknowledge what empirical science has made obsolete in the work of St. Thomas, and also make clear how much today's science would have saved Thomas useless labor. This volume will make Cajetan's help available to the modern reader., Never until now has Cajetan's Commentary been put into English in its entirety.
