Patricia, is there a public domain summary of the Summa that might be available as an eBook?

We have an LRF version of the Summa Theologica here:

which Deputy-Dawg uploaded a while ago.

The Dominicans who run the New Advent site have posted a 1920 translation of the Summa Theologica here:

Click on the tabs at the top of the page and you will find The Catholic Encyclopedia and a lot of writings from the Church Fathers too.

Incidentally, the MR library also has G K Chesterton's biography of St Thomas Aquinas:

Patricia, I think that the Summa is a lot easier to download onto an eBook reader than it is to read from start to finish!

I'm very interested in what Chesterton had to say about him.
