Pre-recorded but not all edited so it will take a week or so to upload everything.

Edit: I should have mentioned - I have chosen to read some footnotes and not others. I have also treated everything in parentheseslike footnotes - some I have I have chosen to read, some I have skipped. If it's in the body of the text and outside parentheses, in whichever of the ridiculous number of languages he chooses to refer to or however complex the citation, I have read it.

This is set up. :)

The parentheses you omitted: are those references and the like? I'm a little leery of leaving anything out of the main text, unless it's bibliographical references.

Thanks!

It's basically references and foreign language terms which he felt he could put in brackets because the main text makes the point he wants to.
An example can be found on this page: https://archive.org/details/dogmatictheology02sheduoft/page/380/mode/1up
For example, I read (after the paragraph break):
Magee ... quotes the following : Xenophon ... relates that the Thracian prince Seuthes asked Episthenes
But because it was in the body text, I read this (a few sentences down) in all its tediousness:
The same use of vTrep is seen in Xenophon s Ilellenica, and De Venatione ; also in Plato s Symposium, 180 and 207; also in the Alcestis of Euripides, 446, 540, 732, compared with 155, 156, 698, 706, 715-717.
Same with the references and German at the bottom of the page.
Essentially, I assumed that since he sometimes gives references outside parentheses and sometimes inside, he is differentiating between how core he thinks it is to his text and using it like footnotes (his actual footnotes he devotes to discussion so I chose to read most of them).
Let me know what you think.

I think that's OK. The citations in parentheses, I think can be left out.

You read the Greek in parentheses at the top of the page? We admins just had a discussion about including the foreign language in the main text, such as the Greek at the top of page 380 that you linked to. The consensus was that it should be included.

I read the Greek outside parentheses but generally not inside. I can go back through and change that (will take me a while though). I think I might know what triggered the foreign language text discussion and I think the initial question might have been about text outside parentheses. Can I ask:
1. Would it be different if the foreign text were in footnotes?
2. Does it make a difference when it's a linguistic discussion vs when it's not? (eg: the case could be made on p.380 that the bracketed foreign text is essential because his point is about the use of prepositions)

The reason I even ask is that I feel for the person who only understands English and who has not just clearly marked foreign phrases but English sentences broken up multiple times with incomprehensible Greek such that it's hard to follow the flow of the English example.

I've gone through the first section and added in any foreign words in brackets. Will probably take me a while to do it so I guess by the end of August we should be all done.

1. Yes - footnotes are very clearly not part of the main text body and can be omitted at the BC/soloist's discretion.
2. I don't know. The general rule is if the author considered it important enough to include in the main text body, it should be read. We make a kind of exception for citations. I'm not sure how often this comes up, so we probably don't have all the "what ifs" worked out. ;)

Assuming that's a "yes" from ITD, I've added you in. Thanks!

There's someone who isn't scared away by dense title! Thanks Jennifer.

I'm currently working on a book by Herman Witsius entitled Conciliatory or Irenical Animadversions on the Controversies Agitated in Britain under the Unhappy Names of Antinomians and Neonomians which will be the true test of PLers being scared off by the title.

Section 2 PL notes:
25:40 - repeated phrase "by [Greek], to release"
30:31 - sentence beg. at this mark is missing the phrase "upon the party to whom it is made"

Well done on repeated seamless transitions across languages, sometimes three in one sentence... :shock: :D

Thanks Jennifer! Do I conclude from the second note that you're reading along with the text? (which you obviously don't have to do). If you are, would it be ok, if I edit the recorded files as is and you tell me timestamps where I've skipped foreign phrases in brackets (see earlier in this thread). I've found it a very slow process to try to find where the missing things are and this would be by far the quickest, provided you're reading along anyway. If not (no problem at all), I'll keep on doing what I'm doing - it's just a slower process!
