Up to now, the only available complete English translation that I knew of was included in Britannica's _Great Books_. The _Great Books_ set, however, cost enough to warrant placing a second morgage on your home. As I recall, Summa takes up two volumes of the _Great Books_ set whereas _War and Peace_ is only a single volume. -- 1100 E. Warrenville Rd., Naperville, IL Willard C.
