Sometimes I cringe while reading the Sebastian Press edition; today, in fact, I smoothed over a couple sentences in a quote from it I posted in my blog, and didn't do more because I would have ended up producing a fresh translation of that paragraph. But then I find that it takes far less liberties with the text than the Lazarica Press edition does; sometimes, I have discovered, entire sentences are left out in this edition, and the description of miraculous events are not quite as forcefully worded as they are in Serbian. (But then, surely we are to expect such things from translators who speak of St Nikolaj drawing freely on "legendary material"!) On the whole, however, you're right that it is far more pleasant to read the Lazarica Press edition; if anything, its English style is certainly not contrived.Esteban Vázquezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09738869673774603152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5134782302655515338.post-47606974329018758012008-07-11T18:48:00.000+02:002008-07-11T18:48:00.000+02:00Yes, welcome back.

John Behr are very interesting to me, and I'm still learning how to read them and approach them as Orthodox teachers. Any thoughts you have would be much appreciated. <BR/><BR/>I'm really glad you're out of the hospital, and blogging again.Isaachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04085541008709908547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5134782302655515338.post-21873882775229866782008-07-10T22:44:00.000+02:002008-07-10T22:44:00.000+02:00Welcome back.

I hope you make a complete recovery.<BR/><BR/>Someone very kindly donated the 4 volume edition of the Proloque to our parish library and I have been enjoying its blessings for a couple of months. I know it's also available online, but it's not the same.DebDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12594843598589340808noreply@blogger.com
