Check this out, I found them new through the publisher, and at a better price: wipfandstock.com (do a search with "pelagius" and both books come up) What do you know about these titles? Are they good translations?

Excellent! Volume One: wipfandstock.com/store/Pelagiuss_Expositions_of_Thirteen_Epistles_of_St_Paul_IntroductionVolume Two: wipfandstock.com/store/Pelagiuss_Expositions_of_Thirteen_Epistles_of_St_Paul_II_Text_and_Apparatus_CriticusI knew that Pelagius' had commentaries on Paul's Epistles, but I thought that the only one that was translated into English was his commentary on the Romans. But yesterday we came across these publications. Volume One is about three hundred pages. Volume Two is about five hundred pages. So that is about eight hundred pages of reading! I love it. Alexander Souter is the author. But J. Armitage Robinson is the editor. Apparently Alexander Souter published a book called, "The Earliest Latin Commentaries on the Epistles of St. Paul" back in 1927. That must have included the commentaries by Pelagius. Since it was published back in 1927, the material is now public domain. So J. Armitage Robinson edited them and used this for these books. If the material is now public domain, doesn't that mean I could put them up on LibraryofTheology.com ? Or do you think Robinson edited them enough to get a copy-right?

Here is "The Earliest Latin Commentaries on the Epistles of St. Paul" by Alexander Souter: www.abebooks.com/servlet/SearchResults?an=alexander+souter&sts=t&tn=The+Earliest+Latin+Commentaries+on+the+Epistles+of+St.+Paul&x=0&y=0It is being sold as cheap as $11. It contains the following authors: * Introduction * Marius Victorinus * Ambrosiaster * Jerome * Augustine * Pelagius This is a 1999 reprint of the 1929 book. This is the book that they apparently just reprinted into those two volumes called "Pelagius' Expositions of the Thirteen Epistles of of St. Paul". The only problem I see is that "The Earliest Latin Commentaries on the Epistles of St. Paul" is less then three hundred pages. But the two volumes of "Pelagius' Expositions of the Thirteen Epistles of of St. Paul"is over eight hundred pages. So I don't know what the deal is with that. I wonder if it only has Pelagius' Commentary on the Romans. Even if that is all that is has, that's a great price for $11! His commentary on the Romans usually goes between $50 - $100.
