Correct use of "aforementioned"
Having written a list of "things" is it correct to write: "All of the aforementioned "things" are...", or "All the aforementioned "things" are..." ?
Is one correct and the other incorrect? Do we only use "of" when we are not specifying to what we refer to (for example "All of the aforementioned are...") ?
Thank you in advance!

I prefer not to use of when talking about all. Of , to me, indicates part, some. This is my personal preference, and I am certain that of is not considered incorrect by very many writers.
