Towards the end of his life, St. Thomas Aquinas produced a brief,
non-technical work summarizing some of the main points of his
massive Summa Theologiae. This 'compendium' was intended as an
introductory handbook for students and scholars who might not have
access to the larger work. It remains the best concise introduction
to Aquinas's thought. Furthermore, it is extremely interesting to
scholars because it represents Aquinas's last word on these topics.
Aquinas does not break new ground or re-think earlier positions but
often states them more directly and with greater precision than can
be found elsewhere. There is only one available English translation
of the Compendium (published as 'Aquinas's Shorter Summa: Saint
Thomas's Own Concise Version of his Summa Theologiae, ' by Sophia
Institute Press). It is published by a very small Catholic
publishing house, is marketed to the devotional readership,
contains no scholarly apparatus. Richard Regan is a highly
respected Aquinas translator, who here relies on the definitive
Leonine edition of the Latin text. His work will be received as the
premier English version of this important text.
