Customer Reviews

A simple translation would have been preferable

I am very disappointed in this purchase. Rather than just a translation of the code of Arabi, I had to have a discussion, and it appeared to be more of an interpretation, I just wanted a simple translation or combination of translations. I don’t want opinions when I’m studying ancient documents, unless I ask for them. I wish I could return it.
