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! Larry - 18/11/2011 10:35:46 PM 532 Views
