The collected works of Thomas Aquinas are being edited in the Editio Leonina (established 1879). As of 2014, 39 out of a projected 50 volumes have been published.

The works of Aquinas can be grouped into six categories as follows:

  1. Works written in direct connection to his teaching
    • Seven systematic disputations (quaestiones disputatae), on:
      • Truth;
      • The union of the Incarnate Word;
      • The soul;
      • Spiritual creatures;
      • Virtues;
      • God’s power; and
      • Evil.
    • Twelve quodlibetal disputations
  2. Philosophical commentaries
  3. Lesser tractates and disputations
  4. Systematic works (Summa Theologiae, Summa contra Gentiles, Scriptum super Sententiis)
  5. Biblical commentaries on Job, Psalms and Isaiah, Canticles and Jeremiah, John, Matthew, and on the epistles of Paul
  6. Liturgical works

Editions

In 1570 the first edition of Aquinas's opera omnia, the so-called editio Piana (from Pius V, the Dominican pope who commissioned it), was produced at the studium of the Roman convent at Santa Maria sopra Minerva, the forerunner of the Pontifical University of Saint Thomas Aquinas, Angelicum.[1] The critical edition of Aquinas's works is the ongoing edition commissioned by Pope Leo XIII (1882-1903), the so-called Leonine Edition. Abbé Migne published an edition of the Summa Theologiae, in four volumes, as an appendix to his Patrologiae Cursus Completus. English editions: Joseph Rickaby (London, 1872), J. M. Ashley (London, 1888).
