Stage Play
I know that there was a stage adaptation of this work in the public domain. Are there any plans to add that to this site in the near future?
As to the translator, It should be noted.

Alas, the translator of this particular translation is Eleanor Hochman, who is seemingly still alive and translating/writing books.[1]. Sherurcij (talk) (λεμα σαβαχθανει) 08:10, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit]IA (vol 2 IA) looks very similar to the Gutenberg etext, however the introductory material is different. IA edition is from 1853. IA is from 1893, and IA appears to be a duplicate. IA is a volume 2, for which there is no first edition. John Vandenberg (chat) 23:09, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
