Detailed grammatical commentary and page-by-page vocabularies are included, and a complete translation of each section is printed at the bottom of each page, allowing readers to turn the pages and appreciate the work in Sargeant s translation as well. Discussions of the language and setting of the G t are provided and, in this new edition, editor Christopher Key Chapple offers guidance on how to get the most out of this interlinear edition.
