It seems no English translations of commentary on the Sutta-Piṭaka and Vinaya-Piṭaka. I am particularly interested in Sāratthappakāsinī (Commentary on the Saṃyutta-nikāya).

There are a number of commentaries of individual suttas, and Bhikkhu Bodhi's translations have notes that quote parts of the commentaries that he felt particularly relevant. Also, Bhikkhu Bodhi's Sutta Nipata translation includes the commentary.

See: viewtopic.php?t=31202 particularly Assaji's list.

I just ordered the Discourse on Elements from the Pāli Text Society. This will be the source for the rest of my Canonical literature.
