None of the Fathers has written a complete treatise on the Angels. The work De Cælesti Hierarchia, attributed to Dionysius the Areopagite, is the only one which deals with the subject, and it is the source and the model of all the speculations of the Schoolmen. Of these may be consulted with advantage Petr. Lomb., 2 Sent., dist. 2 sqq.; William of Paris, De Universo, par. ii. (very complete and deep); Alex, of Hales, 2. p., qq. 19–40, and St. Bonaventure on the Lombard, l.c.; St. Thomas, the Angelic doctor, I., qq. 50–64; Qq. Dispp. De Spirit. Creaturis; Contra Gentes, l. ii., cc. 46–55, 91–101; and Opusc. xv., De Substantiis Separatis. Suarez, De Angelis, is the most comprehensive work on the subject. The doctrine of the Fathers is summarized by Petavius, De Angelis (Dogm., tom. iii.).
