Hello Brecon team!!

I thought your research and this entire project was amazing and so well done. It was such an interesting topic. I thought what you did for it was great, especially the clinking through the documents to spot differences. My only suggestion, I know this is such a reach because you're literally reading Latin, but to have English translations. I am so curious about what is being transcribed here. Awesome work!

Great minds think alike! Yes, that's part of the plan, though I don't think I listed it anywhere as one of the "coming attractions". Now that we can see all the differences between the copies, translation also means choosing which reading to translate at each point in the text. (Some of the spelling differences are meaningless; others change the grammar and the meaning.)
