"The general title was taken from the first three words of the title of De theologia (the third part of the original in Latin), Compendium catholicae veritatis .... The original in Latin lacks a title page for the whole."--[Vol. 1], Introductory remarks.
"The present facsimile edition comprises three ... manuscripts, each reproduced in full in high quality photographs .... The works in question form a tripartite compendium of: (i) Western astronomy, cosmology, and meteorology; (ii) Aristotelian philosophy; and (iii) Post-Tridentine Roman Catholic theology. Sources show that the trilogy was specifically written in textbook form for the benefit of Japanese and European students preparing for the priesthood and was first used at the Jesuit College in Kawachinoura (in Amakusa, Western Kyushu)."--V. 3, p. 11.
