Matthew Poole's Latin Synopsis Criticorum Fully Available Online

For those interested in reading Matthew Poole's Synopsis Criticorum online, this invaluable exegetical resource for the study of the Scriptures is now available to readers of Latin in its entirety. The Post-Reformation Digital Library has links to Volumes 1, 2 and 4 here. Google Books has recently made available Volumes 3 and 5 to complete the set from the 1694 Frankfort edition, which Samuel Austin Allibone, A Critical Dictionary of British and American Authors (1882), Vol. 2, p. 1622, describes as the "best" edition. The links are available below.

Volume 3 (as of November 30, 2009 from the University of Lausanne)
Volume 5 (as of November 30, 2009 from the University of Lausanne)
Volume 5 (as of February 25, 2010 from the Bavarian State Library)

Meanwhile, work progresses on the English translation of the Synopsis at the Matthew Poole Project. Approximately 10% of the work has been translated into English at the present time, and the third and final volume of Revelation is expected to be published later this spring, dv.
