I haven't seen this one, but the description makes it sound, I dunno,
kinda touristy, and I'm concerned about that "freely rendered" stuff ;  )

I've seen this one, and it's okay, but...

This one is better. It gives both the Latin and English, which as I
recall, the Mallinckrodt edition doesn't. It's an excellent translation
and tells you much more about the author and his world than any other
edition I've seen.
