As of fall 2019 (Cistercian Fathers 66), all of Isaac will be available in English. Sources Chrétiennes is preparing a volume of Isaac’s letters, thus completing the critical editions and French translations of his works in that series. Meanwhile, a major book (Buchmüller, 2016) and dozens of articles have been published.
