Craig,

Thanks for pointing out the error in Ptolemy. I should have caught it myself.

Keep up the good PL’ing.

Thanks Warren.

Everything was so well read that I had to point that out.

Good job reading.

Any opinions about how best to read the name "Cœlum" so that it's recognizable to a listener? I was thinking that the anglicized pronunciation "SEE-lum", despite being arguably the least anachronistic, might not register, even though there's a related word "celestial". I was thinking about doing this word with the Church Latin pronunciation "CHAE-loom", but I'd be open to suggestions...

Dictionary dot com has the word pronounced in these two ways. http://www.dictionary.com/browse/caelum
kahy-loo m
see-luh m

Latin phrase fi·at ju·sti·tia, ru·at cae·lum \ ˌfē-ˌät-yu̇s-ˈti-tē-ä ˌru̇-ˌät-ˈkī-ˌlu̇m \

Wiktionary has it kae̯.lum
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/caelum

I was thinking about doing this word with the Church Latin pronunciation "CHAE-loom"

I'd go with the Latin. kahy-loo m CHAE-loom

Oh, sorry about that! I got confused and thought I had until the 25th to finish editing. My recording is done; I just need to sit down and tidy it up. Might I have a two-day extension?

Thanks so much! And thank you for the pronunciation hints earlier; I hope what I've done is acceptable. Here are my four tracks:

If you aren't altogether fed up with me (and if you are, I understand!), I'd claim sections 24, 25, 30, and 31. This time I promise to keep a close eye on the due date.
