OL-wiki:
Now that the 4th edition is sold out, the 5th is being [will be]* prepared.
It will no longer have the design of alternating translation and transliteration, but proper paragraphs with on the right (odd) pages the translation and on the left (even) pages a transcription of the original text in Fryas Standskrift. Book size will be like the first two editions (17 x 24 cm), hardcover. It will include some manuscript pages (in black/white, greyscale), no longer colour copies of all 190 manuscript pages.
[Both transcription and translation are currently being revised.]*

1. Sandbach's "Kat the priestess"
At ca. 3:26 a video maker was strongly criticized because he referred to burgmaids as "priestesses" (image 1). Later she praises Sandbach's translation (image 2), not aware that the video maker used it (image 3). Compare original manuscript fragment and transliteration Ottema (image 4), also translation Ott (image 5).
