Cardinal Tommaso de Vio Cajetan's Commentaria in primam partem Summae theologiae is a sustained, article-by-article exposition of Aquinas's Prima Pars. Cajetan composed the commentary between 1507 and 1522 amid the Renaissance recovery and systematization of Thomism; it was subsequently printed alongside the Summa in the Leonine edition and became a standard lens through which later theologians read Aquinas. Its analyses of analogy, divine knowledge, creation, and the structure of sacred doctrine exemplify the technical method of early modern Thomist commentary. Schola presents the Latin text in the Leonine commentary tradition.
Cajetan's complete commentary on De ente et essentia, using the public-domain Michael de Maria 1907 edition as the production fallback witness, with an aligned English translation.
In this treatise, Cardinal Cajetan examines the foundations of the Catholic Church and the authority of the papacy, arguing against conciliarism and addressing the question of a heretical pope.
Dominicus Báñez, O.P.'s Scholastica commentaria in primam partem Summae Theologiae is a Salamanca-school commentary on the opening part of Aquinas's Summa. The first printing appeared at Salamanca in 1584, after Báñez's teaching at the Dominican studium and University of Salamanca; later editions and editorial continuations helped make the work a major witness to late sixteenth-century Thomism. Its close exegesis of Aquinas intersects the debates over divine grace, human freedom, predestination, and physical premotion that defined the de auxiliis controversy. Schola presents the Latin text from a 1934 Urbano edition; the catalogue's 1584 year identifies the original work, not the modern reprint.

Charles René Billuart, O.P.'s Summa summae S. Thomae sive compendium theologiae (Liège, 1754) is his six-volume abridgment of the larger Summa S. Thomae hodiernis academiarum moribus accommodata (1746–1751). It condenses Aquinas's order and teaching into a reference manual while retaining the Dominican's characteristic distinctions, scholastic proofs, and historical material. The compendium belongs to the eighteenth-century consolidation of post-Tridentine Thomist education and helped carry Billuart's influential reading of Aquinas into later schools. Schola presents the Latin text with an English translation from its public-domain source.
Charles-René Billuart, O.P.'s Summa summae S. Thomae sive compendium theologiae, Tomus II, treats human acts, passions and virtues, sin, law, and grace in the Thomistic manual tradition. Schola presents the complete Latin Tome II from the Paris Vives edition of 1884.
