What it is

The Summa contra Gentiles and much of the Summa Theologiae rendered into Greek by a statesman who began learning Latin to read them.

Why it lasted

It opened a Byzantine Thomism, converted its translator to the Latin church, and gave the Greek East its first real access to scholastic theology.

Where to read it

Public domain and free to read in full, though not held here. The archives below have it.

These open a search on each archive rather than a direct link, which is the honest way to point at an edition nobody here has checked line by line.
