Got an email from Angelus Press about this, thought I'd share the item info...



Quote from: Angelus Press
JUST ARRIVED!

In the mid-thirteenth century, St. Thomas Aquinas gave a series of lectures, commenting on the Gospel of St. Matthew. However, when this commentary became published, it was considered "incomplete" and "defective". This centuries-old mystery was finally resolved in 1955 with the discovery that fraudulent, sixteenth century substitutions had tainted two chapters. A manuscript, containing the actual writings of Aquinas, was discovered a year later in Basel, Switzerland. Now, for the first time since its rediscovery, this newly translated English edition restores the true text, giving one of the most complete and authentic reading of this major work by the Angelic Doctor to date. Particularly useful as an aid for preaching sermons, this masterly commentary contains many detailed explanations and numerous cross-references to Scripture, Church Fathers, as well as other works of St. Thomas, which are continuously interwoven throughout this simple but profoundly enlightening text.

1002 pp. Hardcover.

$49.95

Available at http://www.angeluspress.org/oscatalog/item/8547/commentary-on-the-gospel-of-st.-matthew

Between this and the Baronius Breviary (despite its being 1960 as opposed to D.A.) I'd say 2012 is shaping up to be a great year for Catholic publishing.  Can't wait to get my hands on this one.

That's a hell of a deal.  Seriously.  I hope they continue to stock it.  My eyes are SO on that.

This too is a definite get; but do note that the commentary on St. Matthew discussed in this thread is not the same as the St. Matthew component in the Catena Aurea. The Catena Aurea is Aquinas' assembly of the commentaries of the Church Fathers; the St Matthew commentary is a reportatio of his lectures given to university students. (That is, it is a write-up of Aquinas' lecture notes by his students).

What I want for Christmas is for Baronius to publish the complete works of Aquinas, Latin/English, in their nice leather bound style. Oh, and a Kindle version too.

Yeah, I would be willing to pay a pretty penny for that as well.  It's a lifetime investment, really.
