Catena Aurea - St. Thomas Aquinas

Now available again is a stunning hardcover set of St. Thomas Aquinas' remarkable commentary on the Gospel books, which contains minor cosmetic defects from the 2009 reprint of the original 1842 English edition. This set includes marking ribbons in each volume, making it a truly elegant addition to any library.

In this collection, readers will find a thorough exegesis of the Scriptural books that detail the life of Jesus Christ, compiled from the works of over 80 Early Church Fathers. The English translation of the original Latin text, expertly edited by the esteemed John Henry Newman, has withstood the test of time and remains highly esteemed by devoted students of the Gospels. It is worth noting that Newman himself was canonized in October 2019, underscoring the significance of his contributions to this translation.

Originally released as an 8-volume set, this reprinted edition has been consolidated into 4 volumes, resulting in a more affordable price for this exquisite hardcover collection. Each volume features original-quality text printed on fine, natural-colored paper, sewn-binding, and a handsome hardcover design in antique-style khaki rattan imitation Kidskin with red embossing on the covers and spines. Additionally, the inclusion of red marking ribbons in each volume adds to the set's overall sophistication.

Don't miss the opportunity to own this timeless and comprehensive commentary on the Gospels, now presented in a beautifully crafted hardcover set that will be a treasured addition to any bookshelf.
