Why would you buy a version with the original Latin included if you don't understand it though? Not like the Latin adds anything to your experience. Why not a version with a rich amount of footnotes that actually adds to your reading experience?

>he needs footnotes
>he doesn't read Latin

Summa already has notes in the text. Aquinas was good that way.
