A GUIDE TO CITING THE SUMMA HALENSIS

Prepared by Lydia Schumacher and Simon Maria Kopf

When citing the Quaracchi edition of the Franciscan Fathers, we suggest and use in this volume the following form as a standardized way of citing the Summa Halensis:

Alexander of Hales, Doctoris irrefragabilis Alexandri de Hales Ordinis minorum Summa theologica (SH), 4 vols. (Quaracchi: Collegium S. Bonaventurae, 1924–48), Vol. 3, In2, Tr2, S2, Q1, Ti1, C7, Ar3, Pr1, Pa2 (n. 162), Solutio, 179.

The second instance of citation should read as follows (including all relevant text divisions):

SH 3, In2, Tr2, S2, Q1, Ti1, C7, Ar3, Pr1, Pa2, Solutio, 179.

The relevant text divisions of the Quaracchi edition include, in the following order:

Vol.—Volume (liber)

P—Part (pars)

In—Inquiry (inquisitio)

Tr—Tract (tractatus)

S—Section (sectio)

Q—Question (quaestio)

Ti—Title (titulus)

D—Distinction (distinctio)

M—Member (membrum)

C—Chapter (caput)

Ar—Article (articulus)

Pr—Problem (problema)

Pa—Particle (particula)

Within the question, one may find the following:

[arg.]—Objections

Respondeo/Solutio—Response/solution

(Sed) Contra—On the Contrary

Ad obiecta—Replies to Objections
