SANCTUS THOMAS SUPER ANIMA
Sancti doctoris
By Tommaso D'Aquino
Thomas Aquinas (Roccasecca, between 1224 and 1226 - Piperno, 7 March 1274) was an Italian religious man, theologian and philosopher. A Dominican friar, the main exponent of Scholasticism, he was already called Doctor Angelicus by his contemporaries. He was proclaimed a saint by Pope John XXII in 1323 and since 1567 he has been listed among the doctors of the Church. In 1880 he was declared patron saint of Catholic universities and study centers. Thomas represents one of the main theological and philosophical pillars of the Catholic Church, also being the point of connection between Christianity and classical philosophy, which has its foundations and masters in Socrates, Plato and Aristotle, and then passed through the Hellenistic period, especially in authors such as Plotinus. He developed a theory of law that had a large following in the following centuries.

This valuable edition of 1518 presents the commentaries of St. Thomas Aquinas on Aristotle's work "De Anima". The "Angelic Doctor" offers here a profound philosophical analysis of the soul, intertwining Aristotelian doctrine with Christian theology. Thomas Aquinas, a central figure in medieval philosophy, is known for his ability to reconcile Christian faith with Aristotelian reason. His commentaries on Aristotle's work are considered fundamental to understanding his philosophy and theological thought.
P. Camerini, Annali dei Giunti, I.1, p. 178. Only one copy available in the library of Francesco della Vigna.
On the Soul (Ancient Greek: Περὶ ψυχῆς; Latin: De Anima) is a writing by Aristotle.
The treatise is probably a collection of notes taken by the philosopher himself (in fact they are concise and concise) that he would later develop in his school. In fact, Aristotle does not dwell so much on its definition but describes its functioning, and focuses, therefore, on its faculties (functions). For Aristotle, the soul is not only the formal and driving cause of the living but also the final cause and therefore the primary condition of the immanent finalism of the world of life. Plants and animals act unconsciously for the universal, for the continuity of the species and for the conservation of their form.
Man lives consciously for the universal, he values life up to the highest levels of activity. The soul is the essence or substantial form of the living, and the faculties are accidental forms. The definition of the soul as substance as form means that the soul, in general, is not substance in and of itself but the form of the living. The substantialist vision of the soul must therefore be integrated with the examination of the concrete ways in which the activity of the soul is expressed in different living beings.
