Unpublished biblical commentary translations of Aquinas

Okay, I promise. This is the last Ave Maria entry for the day.

Ave Maria University’s Aquinas Center has some previously unpublished translations into English of some of Thomas’s biblical commentaries. Here’s what they say:

The following unpublished translations, done years ago by Fr. Fabian Larcher, of St. Thomas Aquinas’s biblical commentaries on Hebrews, Colossians, 1 Corinthians, 2 Corinthians, and Ephesians. Until a couple years ago, these unpublished translations - good but left unpublished because they are not critical editions (i.e. with footnotes, using the most critically up-to-date Latin text etc.) - existed only in typescripts kept in a box by Fr. Pierre Conway OP of the Dominican House in Washington D.C. He gave the typescripts to the Aquinas Center on the promise that they would be converted into digital format and worked toward publication.
