Saint Thomas Aquinas, Bernardus Bonjoannes and Wilfrid Lescher

This Compendium, written in the sixteenth century, has several advantages over later ones; the subject matter being so condensed as to exhibit the connection of doctrine forcibly and clearly, divested of the "Objections" and other peculiarities of form which might divert the modern reader from the main point. It is a book suitable either for meditation, or for spiritual reading of a more substantial and efficient character than is to be found in many of our modern books of devotion. An appendix has been added containing a few notes for the benefit of such as may be unacquainted with the terms of Scholastic Philosophy. Note: This work is different to Thomas Aquinas' own abridgment of the Summa known as the "Compendium of Theology". - Summary from Introduction (5 hr 52 min)

Clear, fluid reading made listening easy and helped me get a taste of this famous history-changing way of understanding, without getting stuck at any one concept. All the chapters are consistently this way and thankfully had some seconds of silence after sections that reminded me to rest my head and contemplate then press on. Motivation to dive into some of this in print.
