Works

Until the Leonine edition of Thomas Aquinas's works appeared, the Porrecta-Cajetan commentaries were classical. Features of these commentaries are set forth in the title of the Venice edition of 1612. His principal works are:

  • "Elucidationes formales in summam theologicam S. Thomae de Aquino" (Venice, 1588, 1596);
  • "Summa totius theologiae D. Thomae ... cum elucidationibus formalibus ..." (Venice, 1612; Padua, 1698; Rome, 1773).

To the first volume were added:

  • De altitudine doctrinae Thomisticae; Regulae ad lectorem; Five indices.

Jacques Échard censures the addition of Crisostomo Javelli's "Expositio in primam partem" and "Tractatus de praescientia et praedestinationa";

  • "Veritates aureae supra totam legem veterem ..." (Venice, 1590);
  • "Commentaries on St. Mattew" (Venice, 1602);
  • "St. John" (Venice, 1604); those on St. Mark and St. Luke were not published;
  • "Scholia super comp. Theologicae veritatis Alberti Magni" (Venice, 1588, 1590). Echard says the compendium was not by Albertus Magnus (I, p. 176);
  • "Tota theologia S. Th. Aquin. In compendium redacta" (Venice, 1597);
  • "Commentarii in psalmos" (one volume published, Bologna, 1692).

Famous quotes containing the word works:

    “We have not all had the good fortune to be ladies. We have not all been generals, or poets, or statesmen; but when the toast works down to the babies, we stand on common ground.”
    —Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    “There is a great deal of self-denial and manliness in poor and middle-class houses, in town and country, that has not got into literature, and never will, but that keeps the earth sweet; that saves on superfluities, and spends on essentials; that goes rusty, and educates the boy; that sells the horse, but builds the school; works early and late, takes two looms in the factory, three looms, six looms, but pays off the mortgage on the paternal farm, and then goes back cheerfully to work again.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “The works of women are symbolical.
    We sew, sew, prick our fingers, dull our sight,
    Producing what? A pair of slippers, sir,
    To put on when you’re weary or a stool
    To stumble over and vex you ... “curse that stool!”
    Or else at best, a cushion, where you lean
    And sleep, and dream of something we are not,
    But would be for your sake. Alas, alas!
    This hurts most, this ... that, after all, we are paid
    The worth of our work, perhaps.”
    —Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861)
