While to know Latin was the norm a hundred years ago, it was not taught in any school I attended prior to the university. Even there it was limited in its value as it did not count toward completion of the foreign language requirement. Likewise, Hebrew did not count toward the foreign language requirement.
To include the Latin translations makes the book accessible for others who have not studied Latin. While it looked great, your posting of Howard's
