About the Supplement: Aquinas died in 1274 before finishing Part III. The Supplement completing it was compiled after his death from his earlier Commentary on the Sentences, traditionally attributed to his companion Reginald of Piperno. Parts I to III here come from the Project Gutenberg e-text of the English Dominican translation, and the Supplement is transcribed from the 1917, 1921, and 1922 printings of the same translation, so formatting may differ slightly.

328 passages in the Supplement are marked “OCR uncertain” where the scan could not be read with confidence; each links to its scan page.

Text: Summa Theologiae, Supplement to the Third Part (Supplementum Tertiae Partis), transcribed from Internet Archive scans, translated by the Fathers of the English Dominican Province. The Supplement, compiled after Aquinas’s death from his earlier Commentary on the Sentences, in the same English Dominican translation as the Gutenberg Parts. Transcribed by Bibliotheca Catholica from the OCR of four Internet Archive scans of the pre-1931 printings (Questions 1 to 33 from the 1917 Washbourne and Benziger volume, 34 to 68 from the 1922 volume, 69 to 86 from the 1921 volume, and 87 to 99 from the 1922 Benziger volume), with OCR errors corrected and doubtful passages marked, not rewritten. 99 questions and 446 articles. The two appendices printed after Question 99 are not included. Sources, SHA-256 of each OCR file, and the method are in the source record. Rights: Public domain (US)

The Supplement is not a Project Gutenberg text. It is Bibliotheca Catholica’s transcription of public-domain scans at the Internet Archive; obvious OCR errors were corrected, and passages marked “OCR uncertain” could not be confidently corrected, so check them against the linked scan page.
