Aquinas in October

You guys know about the 61 volume edition of the Summa Theologiae right? It was published in the 60's, and translated and edited by the Blackfriars of Oxford University. You know, they had it at school, and they came in three colors (on for each part of the Summa). It was great for four reasons,

1. The translations where fluid and not overly technical.
2. There was the Latin test on the facing pages, just in case the translation was bad.
3. There where extensive notes, introductions, and appendices.
4. The whole edition was divided up by treatise, so you didn't have to carry around the whole summa, if you just wanted say the treatise on law.

Well, guess what? Cambridge University Press is republishing the whole 61 volumes. Also they are revising a few of the translations, and keeping the facing Latin. We just have to wait until October that's all. Oh, and I think they are doing hardback and paperback (though I am not too sure about that). I figure the hard back will be about $60 a volume, and paper $20 a volume. So that is $3660 or $1220 for the best investment in you life.

However, for all of you serious Thomists out there (who know you're Latin too) that means that the Leonine Opera Ominiais cheaper (at about $3400) than the Cambridge Summa. But You can buy the Cambridge Summa piece by piece.

I am going to go for the hard back, how about you?
