We are still in the process of translating some of the surviving
medieval and renaissance manuals, and likely in the future we will be
coming across new works that need translation.

The existing works appear in Latin, German, Spanish, English, and
Italian. The Italian language material is not the same as modern
Italian, but I have a medieval Italian/English Dictionary. The English
is not the same as modern English, unless you are a die-hard
Shakespeare fan.

Does anyone speak or read any of these languages?

Oh boy! Looks like fun. I think my largest problem as far as the Latin is concerned will be vocabulary. But I have a dictionary. Unfortunately it is a...

My Medival/Renaissance English is pretty darn good, if slightly dusty. My German is more rusty, and I'd only learned modern conversational, but I'd be glad...

No, I suspect your largest problem will be the Grammar. A dictionary will only give you the base vocabulary - the grammar is very different from English. Good...

Ah but in those cases then you would search the base word for the meaning and then use a grammar dictionary of some kind perhaps or use the tone of the...
