In Prümmer's Catalogue and Haringer's Index

“Tabiena, that is, Ioan. Cagnazzo de Tabia, O.P., Italian (d. 1521), wrote the very well-known Summa casuum conscientiae, which is briefly called Summa Tabiena and has been very often edited. A good edition appeared at Venice 1602, in 4to.” — Prümmer, Catalogue of authors
“Tabiena Ioan., Italian, Dominican (Tabiena Summa, or Summa of Summas), around 1525.” — Haringer's index of writers (Gury-Ballerini) (p. XXX, sign read on the page)

His Moral System, as Our Authors Report It

Every report quoted in the author's own words and linked to its place; point at a name to see his words. Haringer's signs give St. Alphonsus's judgment as Haringer found it in St. Alphonsus's works (his notice, Gury-Ballerini, 1884, p. XI); a sign on a writer the 1884 editor added to the list is the editor's own, and is said to be his.

He wrote before the moral systems were formed (Medina first set out probabilism in 1577), so what is reported here is how each author reads the principles he followed, not a system he held.
