Church Fathers and Summa Theologica eBooks

Not long ago, I prepared for myself a Plucker eBook of the Church Fathers, based on the great collection at New Advent. With permission of Kevin Knight who runs New Admin (thank you!), I have now posted the ebook here. It's 32mb.

I also posted a Plucker eBook of St Thomas's Summa Theologica at the same location.

The Plucker format can be read on most modern PDAs (PalmOS, PPC or Linux), computers (Windows XP, Mac OS X or Linux) and the IRex iLiad, and the ebook download page includes information on how to get reading software for your device.

I like the idea of having the Church Fathers with me always on my Palm TX. Right now I'm reading St. Irenaeus. [edited]

    the link on the download page doesn't work, Alex. This looks very exciting! Thanks for putting it together, and thanks for making it available to the rest of us.

    A very Merry Christmas to you and yours.

    Best,
    Tim

    (there's a "www" missing)
