Aquinas's Shorter Summa: Saint Thomas's Own Concise Version of His Summa Theologica by St. Thomas Aquinas (Church Doctor)

• http://www.op-stjoseph.org/Students/study/thomas/Compendium.htm

This book is also known as:

1. Compendium Theologiae: Compendium of Theology
2. Light of Faith: The Compendium of Theology
3. Aquinas's Shorter Summa: Saint Thomas's Own Concise Version of His Summa Theologica
4. Summa of the Summa (?)
   

I thought maybe Aquinas finished the shorter version of the Summa, but even that didn't happen. Now I want to see what's in the recently published titles and compare with some of the public domain stuff on the net.

The Compendium theologiae breaks off at this point. Death prevented St. Thomas from finishing the book. His opusculum, Expositio orationis dominicae, though probably a reportatio, gives us an idea of the plan he very likely would have followed in completing Part II of the Compendium. Part III, on the virtue of charity, was to have developed the theme indicated in the opening chapter of the present work, that we should carry out God’s will through love.
