Uxor tua sicut vitis abundans, in lateribus domus tuae

Pretiosa in conspectu Domini mors sanctorum eius

I am presently embarked on the admittedly foolhardy project of translating the whole of the Summa Theologiae. Will I ever finish? Well, at least I have started.  As I fashion the latest drafts of the various questions, I make them available here in .pdf format.  I am constantly making unannounced revisions to these files.  But the latest versions are those available here on any given day.

Part 1 and Part 1-2 are complete in a loose sense.  
That is to say, I'm constantly revising them as I re-read them.  A slightly earlier version of the Treatise on Law (Part 1-2, questions 90-108) came out in book form in 2009 from St. Augustine's Press (click here for the Amazon site). Likewise, a slightly earlier version of The Treatise on Human Nature (Part 1, questions 75-102) came out in book form in 2010 from St. Augustine's Press (click here for the Amazon site).

Comments are welcome, no matter what their nature.  At present I am especially interested in receiving comments on the treatises on everything in Part 2-2 from the treatise of prudence on, since I have not had the time to re-check the relevant questions for mistakes, typos, and the always-hard-to-detect omissions. I have already received a truly amazing number of corrections for this material, which I plan on incorporating into the translation as soon as I finish Part 2-2, within the next few weeks, I hope.
