I have seen "Summa theologiae" more often used as its title, but this view is not based on actual manuscript inspection.
It seems that Summa Theologica (theological summa) is indeed old-fashioned since it presupposes the study/existence of other summa´s, the summa biologica e.g.
Therefore Summa Theologiae (summa of theology) is said to be more correct, because it doesn´t presuppose the study of other summa´s.

 Philosophy Now
To Bonaventure’s argument that infinity cannot be added to, Thomas responds, “There is nothing to prevent an addition to the infinite on the side which is finite.” That is, the infinite duration of the world implies an infinite past; an infinite past entails an infinity in only one direction, not both.
Yet it is only on the basis of the absolute inviolability of that law that Thomas is able to use the criterion of possibility to distinguish being from non-being: that which is conceptually possible, that which is or can be, describes being; that which isn’t and cannot be describes nonbeing.
It’s worth noting that Thomas himself rules out the possibility of an infinite magnitude (Summa Theologiae 1a.7.3) or infinite multitude (Summa Theologiae 1a.7.4) in actual existence at a given moment, though a potential infinite is possible.

 Summa Theologiae, Saint Thomas Aquinas
In his Summa Theologiae (1267-73) Saint Thomas Aquinas presented a synthesis of Aristotelian logic and Christian theology that was to become the basis of Roman Catholic doctrine on a wide variety of subjects.
Thomas divided his work into three parts, the first dealing with the existence and nature of God and the universe he created, the second with human activity and ethics, and the third with Christ and the sacraments.

 20th WCP: The Emergence of the ‘Supposit’ in a Metaphysics of Creation
Thus the notion of esse commune arises with the consideration of the creative intention by which the hierarchy of being is constituted as manifold participation in the being of its universal agent cause.
Confirmation of this last point is provided by Summa Contra Gentiles I.54, which argues that the divine essence is the proper ratio or exemplar of individual things, and by Summa theologiae 1.15.3 ad 4, which seems to allow that there are divine ideas of individuals" (pp.
Francis Kovach in his study of the role played in Thomas’s participation metaphysics by the Neoplatonic principle of the limitation of potency by act similarly concludes that, according to Aquinas, in creation God limits the act of existence in accordance with his creative idea of a determinate mode of being.

For philosophy of mind and for ethics, one important issue is the manner and extent of the rational faculties' control of sensuality, a control without which the harmony of the human soul is threatened and morality is impossible - especially in Aquinas' reason-centered ethics with its focus on virtues and vices.
Summa theologiae IaIIae.1-5, sometimes called the Treatise on Happiness, develops an argument to establish the existence and nature of a single ultimate end for all human action, or, more strictly, the kind of behaviour over which a person has 'control'.
Law in general is 'a kind of rational ordering for the common good, promulgated by the one who takes care of the community' (Summa theologiae IaIIae.90.4c), and 'the precepts of natural law are to practical reasoning what the first principles of demonstrations are to theoretical reasoningÉ.

 20th WCP: Computer Linguistics and Philosophical Interpretation
The notion of modes of existing, or of what Thomas in the Summa theologiae calls "the multiple mode of existing of things," ultimately proved to be the hermeneutical key to the modus principle.
Of the 102 proper formulations of the modus principle, 58% occur in the early works of Aquinas written before the Summa theologiae, and 42% occur from the Summa theologiae onward.
There is a notable trend in relative frequency among these three formulation types: up to the Summa theologiae, 22% of the formulations are inest-formulations, but from the Summa theologiae onward they constitute 35% of the occurrences.

That Thomas to some degree recognizes this weakness is shown by his qualification of the argument in the Summa theologiae, where he stresses that the intellect knows the natures of all sensible things.44 He does not always make this qualification, however, and the qualification by itself does not rescue the argument.

In the Summa Theologiae, Aquinas attempts to set forth the whole of Christian theology in summary form.
It was written, he says, for "the instruction of beginners," but few Christians today have the time or inclination to reach for the five thick volumes that comprise the standard English-language edition.
Aquinas begins the Summa by proving the need for theology and then moves quickly to examine the attributes of God, vexing questions about living the Christian life, a study of the two natures of Christ, and the nature and purpose of the sacraments.
