Does a citation from Aquinas' Summa require page numbers? Or, like Calvin's Institutes, can one cite the book, chapter, and section? @BayouHuguenot?
Both of these are great, Ruben. Thank you.For the first:
Summa Theologiae, by St Thomas Aquinas, doctor of the Church.

Citing the Summa Theologiæ of St. Thomas Aquinas
Having struggled with this issue for some time, I thought I would attempt to get a final answer as to how Thomas Aquinas’s Summa Theologiæ* is to be cited in academic writing. What I discover…douglasbeaumont.com
This is the one I use.If you're looking for the best option for just searching Aquinas online, the best I've found is here. It's by the same people presently publishing all of his works in Hardbound Latin-English Edition.

Time to leave San Bernardino and return to civilization!
Yup. The question was as regards its size.Read an interesting thread by Fred Sanders on Twitter demonstrating that both Thomas Aquinas (died in 1274) and Dante Aligieri (died in 1321) knew the earth is round and presupposed it in their writings. The idea that the medievals thought the earth is flat is a myth.

Dante literally had this hero climb through the middle of the earth to end up on the other side.
Actually it's not. Historically the Aristotelians knew the earth was round, and Aquinas was a key player in the recovery of Aristotle. But Aristotle was not big with the church fathers and medieval Christians prior to Aquinas, and many did think the earth was flat, or at least might be flat.Read an interesting thread by Fred Sanders on Twitter demonstrating that both Thomas Aquinas (died in 1274) and Dante Aligieri (died in 1321) knew the earth is round and presupposed it in their writings.
