Since they were produced, additional and sometimes superior manuscripts have been discovered of some of the works (see <a href="../manuscripts/index.htm">manuscripts</a>).  They have the reputation of being good, fairly literal, but somewhat old-fashioned translations.  The hardback volumes are available and in print, at $20 each from <a href="http://www.amazon.com">www.amazon.com</a>, but the typeface is ancient and the printing in dual columns makes them hard to read.  In my experience they are much easier to read if printed off in a modern typeface from your browser.   These translations are a little old-fashioned, as the influence of the Authorised Version of the bible meant that translators felt obliged to use pseudo-Jacobean language, in order to carry credibility with their public. This makes them a little difficult to read today.  The text was based on the edition of <a href="../editions_critical/editions_critical.htm">Oehler</a>.  For bibliographic information about this edition, see below. There are footnotes online.  The 'Elucidations' deal with points too lengthy to fit in the footnotes of the original edition. The texts have been taken from the master site for the Ante-Nicene Fathers, <a href="http://www.ccel.org/fathers2">http://www.ccel.org/fathers2</a> and were typed in by a public collaborative effort.  I have not reformatted them; rather they are in the same format that the master site has.  Please notify me of any typographical errors using the <a href="../feedback.php?page=anf_index">feedback
