You’re St. Melito of Sardis! You have a great love of history and liturgy. You’re attached to the traditions of the ancients, yet you recognize that the old world — great as it was — is passing away. You are loyal to the customs of your family, though you do not hesitate to call family members to account for their sins. Find out which Church Father you are at The Way of the Fathers! |

You’re St. Justin Martyr! You have a positive and hopeful attitude toward the world. You think that nature, history, and even the pagan philosophers were often guided by God in preparation for the Advent of the Christ. You find “seeds of the Word” in unexpected places. You’re patient and willing to explain the faith to unbelievers. Find out which Church Father you are at The Way of the Fathers! |

Hey Joel, if its only a small portion I may be able to help with the Latin, I took three years and was pretty great at one time. The only source of English quotes seems to be IVP's "Ancient Christian Commentary". I'm sure you are familiar with the formate. Maybe you can use some of that as a guide to the Latin sections you need to translate.
I have never searched for that text, but I am resuming fall classes next week, and I will inquire into it. One of my philosophy professors is uber-Roman Catholic, and he may know (though he specializes in Aquinas). Also, I take French classes at a nearby Catholic school since mine doesn't offer it. My French prof is also the Latin prof, and he may know of a quality translation. If not, the brothers there may.
In the mean time, you may have found these, but here's Jerome's Introduction to Isaiah:

This site, generally useful, has the Prologue:
http://www.tertullian.org/fathers/
And a comparative, secondary source,
Isaiah: interpreted by early Christian and medieval commentators By Robert Louis Wilken, Angela Russell Christman, Michael J. Hollerich, is on Google Books.
Sorry it's been awhile. My profs have been less than helpful, but in the event that all else fails, try asking your local reference librarian. They will know if anyone does!
I've read all the posts looking for the same (no luck so far, although Aaron's links will be useful in the future). If these comments are found, please let me know.
My Latin is crassa ignorantia, but may help with Russian. Sergei

No luck here either. But you can get the portions that apply to the Nazarene (Hebrew version of Matthew) from "The Other Bible" (ed. Willis Barnstone),or from "Gospel Parallels" (Burton & Throckmorton), or even from Edward's "The Hebrew Gospel & the Development of the Synoptic Tradition.
