In 1259 Thomas completed his first regency at the studium generale and left Paris so that others in his order could gain this teaching experience. By the end of his regency, Thomas was working on one of his most famous works, Summa contra Gentiles. During his tenure from 1256 to 1259, Thomas wrote numerous works, including: Questiones disputatae de veritate ( Disputed Questions on Truth), a collection of twenty-nine disputed questions on aspects of faith and the human condition prepared for the public university debates he presided over on Lent and Advent Quaestiones quodlibetales ( Quodlibetal Questions), a collection of his responses to questions posed to him by the academic audience and both Expositio super librum Boethii De trinitate ( Commentary on Boethius's De trinitate) and Expositio super librum Boethii De hebdomadibus ( Commentary on Boethius's De hebdomadibus), commentaries on the works of 6th-century Roman philosopher Boethius. In the spring of 1256 Thomas was appointed regent master in theology at Paris and one of his first works upon assuming this office was Contra impugnantes Dei cultum et religionem ( Against Those Who Assail the Worship of God and Religion), defending the mendicant orders, which had come under attack by William of Saint-Amour.
