I hope they find someone fast.
It will be a good 2 years before we see that completed, typeset and finished if they started right now.

Probably a lot longer than that, if they take the time to do it right, especially as it's four volumes; they're going to want to compare the Dutch with the Latin, will probably want to include a biography, indexes will have to be prepared, plus lots of proofreading, etc., etc.,...

The gospel would be better understood if the fact of universal sinfulness were more deeply felt. - Alexander Maclaren (1826-1910), commenting on Romans 3:19-26.

This is helpful to know -- thanks! It answers in part the question I asked in this thread.

I agree. It would take that long to get it out if it were done right now.
On a good day I can get a page translated in Olevianus' Romans commentary. If I had nothing else to do I could do more, but it doesn't work that way. For some strange reason my students and parishioners and others seem to think I should do other things!
I guess the same is true of other translators.
I guess it will take me years to get through the Olevianus' commentary. It guess it will take them at least a few years to get through (make a rough translation of) Van Mastricht. Then there is the editorial process. It will be years before we see any of it.

At least we have Turretin now! (Whew!)
We'll have to wait for VM.

And it took the better part of a full decade to get Turretin published - and it was already translated into English!
