Extract
As a general rule, English translations accompanying quotations from primary sources in other languages are cited from published translations, though often with modifications, usually in the direction of greater literalness; these changes have been made silently except when the resulting difference is substantial.
The writings of Seuse and Luther are an exception to the rule. Here I have preferred my own translations to the published ones by Frank Tobin (Henry Suso: The Exemplar, with Two German Sermons, New York: Paulist Press, 1989) and Jaroslav Pelikan and Helmut T. Lehmann (eds., Luther’s Works, Philadelphia: Fortress Press; Saint Louis: Concordia Publishing House, 1955–86). References to these translations are nevertheless provided for the convenience of readers who may want to look up any quoted passage there.
Bible quotations in English in Chapters 1 to 4 are from the Douay-Rheims translation; it has been possible to maintain the principle for the majority of cases in Chapter 5, because Luther and other Protestant writers continued to quote the Bible in the Latin of the Vulgate, and Luther’s German Bible often stays close to its text. I have however substituted the English of the Authorized Version whenever its text is a better match for Luther’s German; these substitutions are noted.
