Here is the link to my new commentary on the first book of Avellanus' Fabulae Divales. If you haven't read it I recommend it.
My commentary is intended to help me understand the work better. I have had great fun writing it, and hope that others enjoy reading Avellanus and my commentary.
I'm sure you will find countless errors and bizarre assertions. I look forward to feedback. I have concentrated on etymology, interesting Grammar and matters of style
The book is available on Amazon

If the link doesn't work I shall soon fix it.
Hopefully you will be able to make comments on my commentary, print it, etc.

Please get in touch if the document itself seems editable, or the link gives you access to other documents. Or if you can't open the document at all. I have never done this before!

Nice, it seems you put a lot of effort into it. How do you like Avellanus' Latin versions so far?
I read through the first couple of pages, somme comments:
- I don't know what your page/line numbers refer to but they don't match with the scan I have (1918 edition)
- fratria is indeed uncommon but it is in Lewis&Short (at least if the online version at Perseus is to be trusted)
- the comment about quondam opificium is wrong I fear. The text has quodnam opificium.

Thanks for your reply. I thought page and line numbers might be an issue. Your reply has confirmed it. I have little choice but to replace page and line numbers with paragraph and line numbers.
I shall have a look at fratria and your other point later. I'm just glad the link worked etc! The project has been great fun, and really getting to know a passage too.
I'm a fan of neo Latin, even modern Latin. I love Roman history and culture but surprisingly am less interested in reading it in Latin. It's the language I love, and though I acknowledge Roman authors were probably purer, even better, I prefer modern themes, written in Latin. Vicipaedia, for example

Shenoute, can you tell me where you downloaded your pdf? I have marked the first ten or so entries with paragraph numbers and line numbers within each paragraph, so hopefully you will be able to find some entries.
I have just checked the link to the document and it seems to have been updated!
