Dear Colleagues,



By now many of you have no doubt taught WP using the Pevear/Volokhonsky or
the Briggs translation.  I would be curious about which of these you prefer,
and why.  Do any of you prefer older translations like the Maude or Edmonds
ones, and if so, why?



Best to all,



Donna Orwin
