The English translation on my shelf is good Sir Lancelot.

That's the one I have. I'm planning on getting Ralf's, I hear it's a bit more complete in regards to the critical apparatus (although Brenton's isn't too shabby in that respect, either).

I'd like to get a Complutensian Polyglot but not sure where to get one for cheap. Somebody needs to make inexpensive editions of all these old texts (probably be a small market, though).

Here's another site that may prove useful. I just found it in my old bookmarks from when I was in college.

Yes. But it's a photocopy of an old library edition, so kind of hard to read.

[Esaias]

The pages have three columns, a Hebrew, a Vulgate, and a Greek. The Greek column has what appears to be an interlinear Latin with it. The Latin font is an older one, uses "f" for "s" in some places, etc. It also uses abbreviations, so if one isn't familiar with Latin it may be problematic.
