I had high hopes for this particular translation. I guess that's what I get for judging a book by its cover. Out of the available translations in English, this is the worst so far. The English lady who translated it either used some bad copies, or interpolated a lot of Greek nonsense in here that doesn't appear in any of the other translations. If new to the subject, check out one of the other 4 first.
