[Sca-cooks] C.A. translation and organization questions

[David Walddon]

Busy and don't have time to answer in full. 
Mostly I agree with what has been said to date. 
On order - The translations MUST be kept in the original order! Seriously the order in which they appear is as much a part of the corpus as the order of the sentences. 
That being said if you are doing modern redactions of some of the recipes (not all) and they are at the back of the translation you could put them into modern courses or sections but WHY?

I have to see how many pages the commentary, translations, notes, bibliography, and indices take up before i know how much room i'll have for modern versions of some of the recipes. Definitely not going to do them all, i just don't know how many at this time.

I am leaning toward a modern ordering, since i won't be working out all of them. If i wanted to, which i don't, it would probably add another year to the publication.
