Hi Jim!
>Can you read French?
Not really, but line-by-line technical french isn't that hard. For
example the 'Conspectus Terminorum' in H. Smith's edition of the
Saddaniiti is invaluable. Stuff like 'le Verbe' is usually not harder
than Pulp Fiction's "Le BigMac" :-) Just because I couldn't read
Madame Bovary is no excuse not to employ Senart's translation, even
if it will be a bumpy road.
>How long do you get to keep the book before you have to return it?
Depends. Could be from as little as three weeks to as long as
open-ended, but I won't be allowed to take it home (assuming they
send it at all)
>Are you still going to photocopy it?
Yes, definitely, since it's not for home loan.
As for the portion of the translation you quote, it looks like Hindi
to me, but I can't be sure. Thanks again for all the info on that
book!
