Correct. The manuscript is an English translation of a moden 
Portuguese translation of a period original. I pulled it when I 
realized that it was covered by the copyright of the modern 
Portuguese translator. Hopefully, at some point, I will get someone 
to retranslate from the original, which is included in the Portuguese 
edition along with the modern Portuguese translation, but I haven't 
gotten around to organizing that project yet, I'm afraid.
