Thomas’ short treatise De ente et essentia (On Being and Essence) is a classic text on the meaning and mystery of being. One of his early works, it was written before Thomas became Master of Theology at Paris in March 1256, and thus does not contain the architectonic metaphysical and theological structures of the Summa theologiae and the Summa contra Gentiles.

Translation, introduction and notes by Edward W. Warren. MST 16. 1975. 65 pp. ISBN 978–0–88844–265–9 • $11.50
Porphyry’s Isagoge, or Introduction to the Categories of Aristotle, has exercised an amazing influence on the course of Western philosophy. A brief, modest work, designed to help a Roman senator grapple with Aristotle’s difficult concepts, the Isagoge became the first text that any aspiring philosopher confronted in his formal education; logic was the foundation of philosophical training and the Isagoge was the introduction to logic.
The Life of Cola Di Rienzo

The Life of Cola di Rienzo is an anonymous eye-witness biography of Cola di Rienzo, a romantic visionary who led a popular revolution against the rapacious and tyrannical barons of medieval Rome. It vividly describes Cola’s brief, tragi-comic reign as “Tribune” of a “restored Roman republic” in 1347, his subsequent pilgrimage to the imperial court at Prague and the papal court at Avignon, his return to Rome as Papal Senator in 1354, and his gruesome death at the hands of a Roman mob two months after his restoration.

Translated with introduction and notes by Armand Maurer. Fourth revised edition. MST 3. 1986. xlii, 119 pp. ISBN 978–0–88844–279–6 • $13.50
Questions v and vi of St. Thomas Aquinas’ Commentary on the De Trinitate of Boethius contain St. Thomas’ most comprehensive treat ment of the classification of the theoretical sciences and description of their methods. They examine the meaning of knowledge and science, the dis tinction between practical and theoretical science, and the modes of pro cedure of the three main theoretical sciences: physics, mathe matics and metaphysics. They also clarify the nature of an “inter mediate science” (scientia media) partaking of both physics and mathematics.
