As ever, full of abtruse Roman customs, and copiously and learnedly annotated.
Have fun!
I wonder where the translations of January and March are to be published. This is a very good project, carried forth so far with care and accuracy; I encourage you to complete it.
Feliciter.

There is no schedule to these – they appear when the translator has time to do them. I hope they will all get done. The translation of January is in progress – a draft already exists, which I have seen.
