BIBLIOGRAPHY 1. Works of Aquinas and English Translations Summa Theologiae (Summa Theologica). The most accessible Latin edition is the Marietti one (Turin, 1934 etc.) (The Leonine edition of St. Thomas' works [Rome, 1882-] is standard, incomplete, and inconvenient.) There is a complete translation by the Fathers of the English Dominican Province (2nd rev. ed. London 1920; reissued in 3 vols. New York, 1947) and a new translation iri sixty volumes, begun in 1964 and shortly to be completed, published by BIackfriars in conjunction with Eyre and Spottiswoode (London) and McGraw-HilI (New York), each volume of which contains an introduction, the relevant Latin text with English translation, notes, explanatory appendices, a glossary and indices, under the general editorship of Thomas Gilby and T. C. O'Brien. References are often made to the Summa without title, or after the abbreviation S.Th., by citing the Part, question, article (reply); thus: "Ia IIae, (q.) 3, (art.) 2, (ad. 2)" means: the reply to the second objection in the second article of the third question of the First Part of the Second Part. Summa contra Gentiles, Turin and Rome, 1934. Translated by A. C. Pegis and others as On the Truth of t e Catholic Faith, New York, 1955.
