"Dear Lestrade,

I think you're point is really fundamental for a better understanding of the Ethics, and you have just pulled a card I did not know you had, and which I don't have: You know Latin! Wow! I still owed you a thorough study of the passages in English, as we discussed above, and I haven't finished my work on that yet. But now it is going to take me even longer, since I am going to download the Latin text as you indicate, and my final response will only come to you here once I have finished restudying the whole issue IN LATIN! I just wrote below today that the studying of Spinoza's Ethics in Latin is not something I believe I'll be able to accomplish in this incarnation. But who knows, maybe with your guidance and help, I will be able to make good progress on this task in the years to come! Thank you very much again for sharing your knowledge with me here! talk
