Further to my post earlier today, the 7th homily of Origen on Ezekiel is now done, complete. That was a very quick turnaround, thankfully. We should have about an hour’s worth of formatting on homilies 8-14, and then an unspecified (but hopefully short!) period of checking the Latin text of 8-14 for typos.
I, for my sins (which are evidently considerable), get to compare 8-14 with the existing translation (which I shall do tomorrow). And then, really, the book is done. The translator will write his own preface, of course, but that won’t hold anything up.
What I shall have to do after that is typesetting. This is done in Adobe InDesign, and I shall have to get a copy and see if I can work it out.
Because the rival translation came out in 2010, I don’t really expect to make any money on this volume. So I hope to keep costs to a minimum! That means doing more myself.
