01:0001:00, 12 July 2021 diff hist −461 Hermetica Undid revision 1033130389 by Apaugasma (talk) Latham holds a master's degree in this specialist subject, and this was his first translation after ten years of studying Latin and Ancient Greek. If that's not good enough for Wikipedia, it says more about Wikipedia than it does about the academic community as a whole. Tags: Undo Reverted

18:0518:05, 11 July 2021 diff hist −267 Hermetica →English translations of Hermetic texts: I am aware that this list was limited to scholars and not hermeticists, but Latham is *not* a practising hermeticist, and holds a master's degree in Latin and Ancient Greek. His edition is scholarly, as evidenced by the footnotes and bibliography (which are not a feature in books written by hermeticists). Latham's translation is also the most recent translation of the Hermetica into the English language. Ian Thomson hates this author & discredits him. Tag: Reverted

05:4705:47, 28 March 2021 diff hist +19 Emily Wilson (classicist) →Bibliography: Nowhere is it stated that Dr. Emily Wilson translated either Seneca or Euripides. It just says, "Six tragedies" or "The Greek plays" which is meaningless. I have rectified this.

23:0223:02, 21 June 2020 diff hist +258 Hermetica Undid revision 963802205 by Ian.thomson (talk) It is a valid translation, and is over two decades newer than the so-called "standard edition". Tag: Undo
15:4315:43, 21 June 2020 diff hist +66 Hermetica →Bibliography: Furthermore, Ian, whereas Copenhaver worked from printed critical edition, Latham made his translation by reading the actual manuscripts themselves, not simply from someone else's interpretation of them.

15:0615:06, 21 June 2020 diff hist +70 Hermetica →Translations: Ian Thompson is not a qualified Latin translation and doesn't even speak English "garbage" is not an English word, nor is "fluffbunny". Latham is a qualified Latin translator, his specialism is in Classical Latin and Roman archaeology. His edition is replete with scholarly references, almost exclusively primary sources from the classical world. Ian - I would like to see *you* translate even a single sentence in Latin, let alone several hundred pages.
10:0110:01, 21 June 2020 diff hist +62 Hermetica →Standard editions: There is no evidence for Copenhaver's translation being "standard".

17:5417:54, 20 November 2018 diff hist +7 m Habeas corpus The Latin translation here is incorrect. The subjunctive mood is conditional, and not certain (unlike the active mood).
