Concerning Josephus in other languages

[doulos-achreios]

Hello, @erykjj 👋
Yes, I know a couple of pots being cooked simultaneously (TBH_10.2_P and Cnc_5.2_P I’m most interested in🙂) but an idea occurred to me about next possible artwork…What about Josephus’ works in Polish? Translations are accessible in public domain, they simply need to be adjusted for addon. I found a source in .pdf form as well as a freeware ebook.
Please find a .pdf of „Antiquities..” in Polish for test & consideration😉

Hi @doulos-achreios ,

PDF is not a good format to work with. It has to be something easier to parse: markdown is best, html work as well. ePub should be OK.

[doulos-achreios]

I see. But it may not prove easy to find these formats. One of them I managed to dig out in ePub, but just now it’s somehow impossible to upload. I’ll be trying

And here a .pdf of „War…” in Polish. This being a public domain, however needs to be mentioned, that its source is „Wolne Lektury” website.
Wojna-Żydowska_J.Flawiusz.pdf
So…?

@doulos-achreios
I think, considering the limited audience, that porting such a complicated work into another language is too much at the moment.

considering the limited audience

Don’t you underestimate Polish scholars & amateurs in Bible history😉 but yes, for now, esp. lacking mentioned format of source texts.

porting such a complicated work

Who am I to disagree?🫣

too much at the moment.

…at the moment, right. Be it postponed then, but not thrown out, pls🙏

IF you find a well-formatted source, it may be practicable.
