Translation

Most Latinists are familiar with texts from a narrow period or in certain genres. As a lexicographer, I’ve done detailed work on texts from c540 to 1600 in all genres, from sheep-farming accounts, land charters and episcopal letters to monastic chronicles, medical treatises and epic poetry. So while my own research involves scholastic Latin, I will be able to handle any post-classical text you need help with.

Translation is standardly £0.20/word for prose and £0.30/word for poetry (minimum charge £15). Repetitive, formulaic, or otherwise strangely easy texts may attract a discretionary discount, and perversely difficult ones a surcharge. Any footnotes will be free of charge (see Testimonials below).

If you find that I’ve made any outright mistakes in my translation – and I agree! – I will refund you 10% for each different one, up to a maximum of £100. (You won’t find a guarantee this strong elsewhere.)

“I count myself incredibly lucky that I stumbled across [your post] and that you agreed to translate my [text].  And I am very grateful that you went down those rabbit holes and found further information included in your footnotes.  You found the references, even the obscure ones” – Sheila, USA
