| | | Facsimile Edition's of Calvin on Job & Deuteronomy
Can anyone tell me, if the (BOT) Facsimile Edition's of Calvin sermons on Job & Deuteronomy are easy or difficult to read ?
Engelish is not my first language, and so iam wondering if the facsimile edition is difficult to read. Is there not a link were i could see a facsimile page of Calvin ?

| | | Hi:
You will probably find that they are difficult to read if English is not your first language. The editions are in 16th Century English of which most modern English speakers seem to have difficulty. Also, the spelling is in 16th Century English as well. They did not have standardized spelling back then. Also, words that may read like "ye" do not necessarily mean "you" but "the." And, finally, sometimes something that looks like the letter "f" is actually an "s."
You will probably have a difficult time reading these facsimilies.
Blessings,
-CH
