SC - Buch von guter Speise: new edition with English translat ion

[Christina Nevin]

	Brighid, probably too sensitive for her own good wrote:
	For me, the problem is that she went beyond pointing out errors.  
	Saying that the online version spreads "false information" is more 
	than criticism; it's an attack.  The impression I got is that she
felt it 
	would have been better if the earlier translations had never been 
	published.
	In addition to that opinion, I have an emotional bias.  I know how 
	much work, frustration, joy, and mental sweat goes into a major 
	translation, and I can't help but think about how I would feel if 
	someone made comments like that about my own project.


I also found her words offensive (not yours Thomas). To me Ms Anderson's
remarks appear to be intellectual snobbery of the worst kind - "my way is
the only way". 

I've used Alia Atlas's translation for years. It was in fact the first
original source I used, and I'm sure I'm not the only one who has been
inspired by it to start doing their own redactions. Even if it isn't a 100%
accurate translation, like all fields, someone has to do the initial work
and 'break ground', as it were. Unless you go into it with intent to
deceive, or disinterest in accuracy (like Vehling), everything that
increases our knowledge should be welcomed. 

Yes, I will be ordering the new book, but I have the feeling I may be
'editing' a certain sentence with some Twink.

I can't wait to read your translation Brighid, I haven't done any Spanish
cooking before (excepting modern - I make killer gazpacho) and am really
looking forward to learning a new cuisine.
