For my next project I am going to work on the long poem Mirèio. I believe it is about 45k words so it gets its own book.

For the cover I am thinking of The Olive Orchard by Van Gogh. This is from a series painted in the Bouches-du-Rhône department of France, where Mistral lived and worked. The title character, Mirèio, is the daughter of a farmer who has many olive trees. I also really like the image of the girl on top of the ladder, since the difference in social class between Mirèio and her lover Vincen is part of the conflict.

I noticed that Preston's 1872 edition has a lot of useful endnotes that were left out of her 1890 edition. I think I am going to try to transcribe them and put them back in.

I've finished my first proofreading pass. Now I am going to work on restoring the 1872 endnotes.

My suspicion is that this is going to take a while. The 1872 endnotes are really helpful (this book relies on a lot of local cultural and geographical references) and I don't indent to finish this production without them, but it's going to be a slow process because the 1872 edition isn't transcribed anywhere (as far as I'm aware) and there's like 10-20 endnotes for each canto (with 10 cantos). I might pick up another project while doing work on the endnotes here.

There's a reference in the endnotes to the "Soldan" of Egypt. Is this a close enough sound-alike to "Sultan" to modernize it?
