But it used the 1927 Knopf translation. Translation is fairly good.
It can't be that good if it didn't even translate its name from "Knopf" to "button".
Sorry, it was too good to pass up.
At least it didn't translate into Latin "the good parts."

I was thinking of the older Loeb Library translations, but Gibbon will work as well!
