1584 – Catena Aurea – Thomas Aquinas | First Edition NT Bible Commentary

“The truth can be perceived only through thinking”

― Thomas Aquinas

Thomas Aquinas was a 13^th-century Dominican monk known as one of the most important and influential church fathers and Catholic philosophers. One of his best woks was his commentary on the four gospels of the New Testament, “Catena Aurea”. Prior to Aquinas, Saint Anselm wrote a work entitled “Enarrationes” in the 11^th-century – a work after which Aquinas modeled his “Catena Aurea”.

This 1584 edition of “Catena” was published in Venice by Zaltieri and Zanetti.

Condition: Very Good. Tight and secure modern leather binding. Beautiful tooled accents throughout the leather – a truly remarkable work of art.
