In 2024, it will be a hundred years since our Journal was introduced to the public under the name Unio Thomistica. The beginning of this Journal coincides with the encyclical of Pius XI, Studiorum Ducem, from 29 June 1923 and in May 1924, the first and only issue the first and only issue of the new journal so called, was published in Rome. For the year 1925, it went by the title Angelicum – Annuarium Unionis Thomisticae. Perhaps the greatest credit for the creation of it goes to two Hungarian Dominicans, Frs. Szádok Szabó (1869-1956) and András Haynal (1894-1966). As far as the contributors are concerned, they were largely professors of the Angelicum, but also a significant number were scholars from other institutes, clerics and priests, men and women from different countries. The Journal still maintains its Thomistic orientation as the University’s peer-reviewed academic journal, although the range of scientific topics has for several decades included not only theology, biblical studies, philosophy, law, and social sciences, but also art, history, pedagogy and psychology. Today it is regularly distributed in 28 countries in Europe, Asia, America and Australasia.
