NOT "English, Latin, and German edition": ALL IN ENGLISH
922050
Don't get me wrong--there's nothing wrong with the BOOK itself. It's the DESCRIPTION on Amazon that's the problem. This is NOT the "English, Latin, and German edition," as described. It's all in ENGLISH with the exception of a short sixteen-page glossary of Latin and German terms used by Eckhart in a somewhat idiosyncratic way. I purchased this hoping for Eckhart's original Latin and German texts with opposite-page English translations--according to the way it's described on Amazon. That is NOT what you will get with this volume.

This is a beautiful book, however I did not scroll all the way down to see that it was printed in German.  I have returned it for an English version.

Spanish speakers: Be aware, I bought this spanish edition and downloaded in English. Looks like a joke, cheap one, fortunately.

Amazingly there are NO ENGLISH SUBTITLES! In music that depends totally on the words to create its mood it is incomprehensible that there would be no subtitles in any language other than German. This is particularly infuriating as it is beautifully sung and recorded.
Sadly one must say DO NOT BUY THIS DISC unless you are fluent in German. The amazon information talks about it being dubbed in English (which I mistakenly took to mean English translations would be available). The short black and white doco has English subtitles as the artists explain their interpretation, but all that does is make it even more unacceptable that the text is not translated for sale outside Germany.

This is a huge version with other languages in it.  I bought it, and then deleted it and bought the "English Translation" which is the Rule in English only.

Great text; I just bought it and am appreciating reading and contemplating its words.

One note: the translator for this edition is J. Legge, not Stephen Mitchell as the item info describes. Slightly different, still good, for me.

This book is supposed to be in English as per the description. The entire book is in Latin. Please correct this error.
Otherwise it is satisfactory. Wish I could read it :(

An okay libretto. I would say the English is a decent translation which straddles the line of readability and literal translating.  My complaint is that in the Kindle format you cannot view the German text and corresponding English at the same time, as you can in many CD booklets.

I read a comment from a previous buyer regarding this book stating that it was delivered to her in English version only.  SInce the book clearly has bilingual on it, I'd assumed it was in both languages.  It's very disappointing that I received this book in English only.

Although the description of the book states the language is English, this book is in Latin except for the preface and side notes on the pages.

I made a point of checking before I ordered it that it was English and am very disappointed.

The work itself has been well-reviewed here.  But Woods's translation, at least in the hardcover edition, makes some huge mistakes with musical terminology.  The worst is the translation of the German pitch  "B" as B in English: it should be B-flat, as the German pitch  "H" is our B.  This makes a world of difference in the discussion  of musical passages, and in general one finds that Woods is not the most  felicitous translater of musical concepts.  It's a shame, because musical  concepts are absolutely central to the concerns of the novel.

Just a warning - Amazon's page for "Canterbury tales in modern english" linked to this edition, which is *not* in modern english.

Thank you to Amazon for fixing this listing.  It is the Italian translation.  (It used to be listed as a Spanish translation.)

The front and back are in English but the book is all French.  I'm sure it is great but only if you can read French.

I cannot review this book.  I ordered the English translation and was sent the German version.  I'm sure the book is fine, but the service is not.

Well it certainly looked as advertised however I should have paid closer attention to what I was ordering. I received the German version - and unfortunately only speak (and read) good ol' English. My bad.
