[FRIAM] Interdisciplinary work

[Frank Wimberly]

Read it in the original Spanish, Castilian as it is.  Would you read
Shakespeare in modern vernacular English?  Spanish has changed less than
English.  When I don't understand something in the King James version of
the Bible I read the Spanish Bible to clarify.  It's stuff like "Dijoselo"
(old) instead of "Se lo dijo (modern)."

My favorite English translation is by Samuel Putnam Modern Library).  It
has some of the archaic feel of the original.  "Knight of the
Mournful Countenance"  for "Caballero de la Triste Figura"
for instance.
