It's the best critical edition out there. The popular bilingual one is bad in lots of ways (wrong ordering of books because it was translated by a Protestant who put the Apocrypha at the end and ordered the other books in the Protestant order), the translation is wonky and it doesn't have variant readings. I started with that one to spot-check my translation and cast it aside in irritation (and also because I don't need to look up THAT many words).

Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius

It's the Solemnity of Mary, the start of AD 2014, and doubtless someone has read some crap, right? - 01/01/2014 07:00:29 AM 1041 Views

It might be a product of its time, if it's like his other histories - 26/01/2014 11:17:33 PM 760 Views
