Now that I'm looking for the translator I realise that I can't find one. Goodreads has a 1948 hard copy book with the same cover (pic below) that I've got, and the translator is Stuart Gilbert.

And, again with the same cover, Knopf published in 1968, but Goodreads doesn't mention a translator.

I wonder if the version that I bought from Kobo, ($3.92 in AU) is legit!
The Knopf/Vintage/Random, etc. copies are all Stuart Gilbert.

Early Penguin were also Stuart Gilbert, current Penguin (for quite some years now) are Robin Buss.

Yours will almost certainly be Gilbert and I suspect it is legit (as I don't think Knopf/Vintage/Random do that title any more???)

EDIT: Just checked my copies:

Gilbert starts - "The unusual events described in this chronicle occurred in 194- at Oran. Everyone agreed that.."

Buss starts - "The peculiar events that are the subject of this history occurred in 194—, in Oran. The general opinion was ..."

So quite easy to tell them apart.
