At the moment I am working on my translation of the minutes for the council of Hippo (393) and council of Carthage 3 (397).\u00a0 This has been hanging around for ages, and I want it done.\u00a0 I think I have translations of everything now, but I am taking advantage of the newly improved Google Translate for Latin to read Munier’s proemium to his edition of the canons of the African councils, which I never took the time to look at. I am learning a few things from it that should be useful.<\/p>\n
Munier was not well-served by his publisher, who failed to give him enough editorial support.\u00a0 The book badly needs to be reedited and retypeset.\u00a0 It’s nearly unusable.<\/p>\n
A gentleman wrote to me today asking about the original language text of Bryson Sewell’s translation of two homilies, Chrysostom’s De Severiano Recipiendis<\/em> and Severian’s\u00a0De Pace<\/em>, both delivered during the brief period of reconciliation.\u00a0 I placed the translation on the blog, but I was quite unable to find anything on my PC’s hard disk; not even the finished translation.\u00a0\u00a0In the end I searched through my email box and located the original emails, and one of these contained the two files.<\/p>\n There must have been a directory of files, but I have no idea what has become of it.\u00a0 If I had not placed it online, it would be lost.\u00a0 If I didn’t keep all my emails, I’d never have found the source.\u00a0 This is a bit sobering: where did it all go?<\/p>\n Now that I am retired, I ought to consider getting things better organised.\u00a0 I ought to create a master list of translations, in some future-friendly format like HTML.\u00a0 Maybe with links to where the stuff can be found.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" At the moment I am working on my translation of the minutes for the council of Hippo (393) and council of Carthage 3 (397).\u00a0 This has been hanging around for ages, and I want it done.\u00a0 I think I have translations of everything now, but I am taking advantage of the newly improved Google Translate […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"jetpack_seo_schema_type":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_hide_featured_image":false,"_jetpack_featured_image_duplicate_dismissed":0,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[19],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-33865","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-from-my-diary-announcements"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/roger-pearse.com\/weblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33865","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/roger-pearse.com\/weblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/roger-pearse.com\/weblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/roger-pearse.com\/weblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/roger-pearse.com\/weblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=33865"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/roger-pearse.com\/weblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33865\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/roger-pearse.com\/weblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=33865"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/roger-pearse.com\/weblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=33865"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/roger-pearse.com\/weblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=33865"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
