Great work Emma, I don't have much to say about the production. Very
nice work on all of the endnotes, and your use of <dfn>. All of that
must have taken forever!
Can you flesh out the long description? You mention that it's an
important work - but why? I think there's a lot to say on that topic.
I also think it would be helpful to talk a little about differences in
the text across editions. Someone looking at our edition will quickly
notice that it differs significantly from other popular editions. But
why? This will also be helpful in heading off comments from the peanut
gallery in the future.
This is a long description that deserves to be detailed and
comprehensive I think - there's a ton to say about this extremely
important work.
