Metnin tamamı İngilizceye hiç çevrilmedi, bu da iki seçme çeviriden biri ve daha iyi olanı.

John of Salisbury was ahead of his time. If he were a steak, he’d be a filet mignon, not a salisbury

Unfortunately a summary and a lot of parts & chapters are omitted.
But it is probably the only English version currently available.
