Availablity of the Works of

Availablity of the Works of San Juan de la Cruz
First, many thanks to Mr. González for the advice on Spanish Versions of San Juan's works.

Now, a response to the query he posited--what are considered the very best English translations of San Juan's works can be found at ICS publications site. Go to the Archives and you'll find on-line English translations of everything except Ascent of Mount Carmel. The somewhat stodgier, older translation of Ascent by E. Allison Peers is available here. The Kiernan Kavanaugh/Ottilio Rodriguez translations available at ICS are considered among the finest. Also, they did tremendous editorial work that resulted in a much expanded version of The Sayings of Light and Love. Enjoy!
