No, they wrote to the editor (William Woys Weaver) rather than the
translator (Magdalena Thomas), and got a response. I'm not sure why I
didn't, as I also wrote to the editor through the University of
Pennsylvania Press. However, if you read the material about the
translation in the introduction, Weaver does sound unwilling to give out
the translation (pointing out that the original is available in multiple
libraries).
