Peter Lombard Sentences Vol 1-4

Chris Knabenshue

Given that so many theologians wrote commentaries on Peter Lombard's Sentences (and there are a few of them already available in Logos), it seems crucial that the actual Sentences also be offered on Logos. Below is a 4 volume English translation I would love to see offered as a set in Logos!

I've used these specific print editions of the Sentences myself and would recommend them. Surprising that this resource is not on logos and request that it is made available for two reasons.

One, because it's an incredibly important primary document and had massive influence in medieval theology (influencing not just Catholicism but Protestantism as well). So much so that anyone studying a masters of theology back then was required to write a commentary on it. This includes people like Aquinas and Martin Luther. If we desire to understand those people and their works, as well as the medieval church, we can't do so without recognizing the influence that 'the Sentences' had on them.
Two, because Logos has commentaries on the Sentences available, but not the actual Sentences themselves. That seems the wrong way around to me. Access to it as a primary document and not indirectly via the commentaries on the Sentences is the ideal.

Would be nice to have this in Logos before Christ comes back?
