WorldCat is an important place to look for many materials not owned by the Tricollege Libraries. This combined library catalog contains more than 1 billion titles owned by libraries around the world.

Tripod lists translations under the author's name. Limit the results to English. There will likely be some titles included that are not translations but commentaries or editions in Greek or Latin with English language notes. You will be able to identify the translations from the individual titles.
Also note that some works have been translated multiple times, so that a Tripod search may lead to choices in terms of style and intended audience.
