Melchor Cano's De locis theologicis, first published in 1563, examines the sources and authority of theological arguments in twelve books. It considers Scripture, tradition, ecclesial authority, reason, and history as grounds for theological inquiry. The present edition includes the Latin text and an English translation. The Latin was prepared from Juan Belda Plans's BAC reading text and checked against The School of Salamanca's CC BY 4.0 transcription and aligned page images of the 1563 edition; both sources are credited.

Domingo Báñez's sworn declaration and theological reply to Francisco Suárez's paper on free choice (Salamanca, 27 October 1594), in his own original Spanish with facing Schola English translation. The manuscript is fragmentary and breaks off mid-sentence.

Domingo Báñez's unpublished disputation with the Jesuits on whether the efficacy of prevenient grace is intrinsic and of itself or from man's free choice (circa 1599-1600), with his reply to five questions and the anonymous 1599 theological qualification. Latin with facing Schola English translation.

Dominicus Báñez, O.P.'s Scholastica commentaria in primam partem Summae Theologiae is a Salamanca-school commentary on the opening part of Aquinas's Summa. The first printing appeared at Salamanca in 1584, after Báñez's teaching at the Dominican studium and University of Salamanca; later editions and editorial continuations helped make the work a major witness to late sixteenth-century Thomism. Its close exegesis of Aquinas intersects the debates over divine grace, human freedom, predestination, and physical premotion that defined the de auxiliis controversy. Schola presents the Latin text from a 1934 Urbano edition; the catalogue's 1584 year identifies the original work, not the modern reprint.

Editorial notice: José Ángel García Cuadrado's scholarly introduction and bibliography to Q. 40 are available as a separate Spanish work under his own authorship, linked to this commentary. His Spanish translation of Q. 40 is attributed to him in the text metadata. Domingo Báñez's commentary on the Secunda Secundae of the Summa Theologiae. The work begins here with Q. 40, De bello, and is incomplete. Q. 40 is presented in Latin with José Ángel García Cuadrado's Spanish translation. Both languages are attributed separately in the text source metadata.

Domingo Banez's treatise on the concord of created free choice with efficacious grace (composed 1600): the Thomist answer to Molina. Latin with facing Schola English translation.

Francisco Suárez’s Commentaria ac Disputationes in Primam Partem D. Thomae: De Deo Uno et Trino is a systematic scholastic treatment of the doctrine of God in relation to Aquinas’s Prima Pars. Its three principal divisions examine the divine substance and attributes, predestination and reprobation, and the mystery of the Trinity. Rather than simply reproducing Aquinas’s sequence of articles, Suárez recasts the material into books and disputations, allowing extended treatment of metaphysical and theological problems. The work is characteristic of his method: close engagement with Aquinas combined with an independent organization and detailed comparison of scholastic positions.

Francisco Suárez's fifty-four metaphysical disputations, the systematic metaphysics of the late scholastic tradition, first published at Salamanca in 1597. This edition gives the Latin of the prooemium and all fifty-four disputations — the first part on being and its passions (I–XI), the second on its causes (XII–XXVII), and the third on the division of being into infinite and finite, substance and the nine kinds of accident, and beings of reason (XXVIII–LIV) — with the transcription's apparatus of variant readings from the 1597, 1600, 1605, 1614, 1751 and 1861 editions, and the facsimile of the 1597 print.

The Cursus Theologicus of the Discalced Carmelites of Salamanca (the 'Salmanticenses'), tomus I, in the 1870 Paris reprint. Contains the Prooemium and the three great treatises of this volume: De principio individuationis (a digression on the principle of individuation), De Visione Dei (in quaest. 12), and De Scientia Dei (in quaest. 14, including the extended rejection of middle knowledge). The edition prints St Thomas's Prima Pars text alongside; that text is not republished here.
