St. Thomas Aquinas Catena Aurea is a commentary on of the Gospels by the Early Church Fathers compiled together. (1227-1274AD)

The "Catena Aurea' though not as original as his other writings, furnishes a striking proof of St. Thomas's prodigious memory and manifests an intimate acquaintance with the Fathers of the Church. The work contains a series of passages selected from the writings of the various Fathers, arranged in such order that the texts cited form a running commentary on the Gospels.

The commentary on St. Matthew was dedicated to Urban IV. An English translation of the "Catena Aurea was edited by John Henry Newman (4 vols., Oxford 1841-1845; see Vaughan, op. cit., vol. II) Also published by (John Henry Parker, v. II, J.G.F. and J. Rivington:London, 1842)
