I am looking for a **public domain** English translation of all four volumes of Perter Lombard's *The Sentences*---"one of the least read of the world’s great books". I am, however, not sure that such exists. The earliest translation that I have found is by Giulio Silano, which came out roughly fifteen years ago. See, for example, [The Sentences Book 1: The Mystery of the Trinity (Mediaeval Sources in Translation)](https://www.amazon.com/Sentences-Book-Mystery-Mediaeval-Translation/dp/0888442920/ref=d_pd_vtp_vft_none_sccl_2_2/136-3867385-3257915?pd_rd_w=l04Mp&content-id=amzn1.sym.8e065679-52e9-4d16-ae63-fa3d08b93cef&pf_rd_p=8e065679-52e9-4d16-ae63-fa3d08b93cef&pf_rd_r=E88PDH4H8Y2DVGX50FPD&pd_rd_wg=1yey7&pd_rd_r=e702d2dc-a129-473f-986c-8ff314301285&pd_rd_i=0888442920&psc=1) . If this is indeed the earliest such translation, then what I am looking for does not exist. As for Latin, I have found [Petri Lombardi's Libri IV Sententiarum](https://ia800502.us.archive.org/20/items/libriivsententia01pete/libriivsententia01pete.pdf) , but it does not appear to contain all four books. QUESTION: Does anyone know of a public domain English translation of all four volumes of Peter Lombard's, "The Sentences"? Or, is anyone reasonably certain that none exist? If no such English translation exists, is there a complete Latin translation to be found that was published in the last two hundred years or so? (i.e., not [Liber IV sententiarum (Four Books of Sentences)](https://archive.org/details/lewis_e_170/page/n5/mode/2up))
