Translating Junkelmann into English
#1
To continue from the Women as Re-enactors post in the Re-enactment Forum...<br>
<br>
Sander, you said that translating the Junkelmann titles online in full would be a copyright violation. I concur; I didn't make myself clear earlier.<br>
<br>
I wouldn't want to put Junkelmann online in English. I would like to see him in an English-language reprint. But I certainly don't expect you and I to take that project on. It would just be nice to see.<br>
<br>
I bet I could find Herr Doktor Junkelmann himself and ask him if he's ever considered doing an English version. I'll venture a guess he's conversant in English; that being the case, a partnered translation effort would require a native English speaker who preferably was an initiate of Roman army studies.<br>
<br>
I'm not saying I qualify; certainly I don't have the time for another project! E EM But wouldn't it be nice to read Marcus Junkelmann's books in English?<br>

There should probably be a viable market for his titles in English. For me personally though it makes little difference: both English and German are foreign languages. The last works on the Roman army translated into Dutch were Connolly's The Roman army and Warry's Warfare in the Classical world.<br>

Vardulli, how came you by this knowledge? I assume you met him re-enacting.<br>

Great! Maybe he'll be at this year's conference in Vindonissa. I'll have to discuss with him then.<br>
<br>
Which of you all are planning to attend ROMEC 2001? <p></p><i></i>
