LLL died a bit without me here, huh?
I recently bought the first thirty-something books of Pliny’s Natural History, translated in the early-mid 20th century and compiled into three or four Loeb volumes. Sadly one of them got its cover a bit damaged by rain when I took it outside, but the pages are all still fine.
The Loeb translations are, perhaps, more scholarly in approach than some others, for instance the first volume begins with a very extensive index and list of Pliny’s references that lasts for about 150 pages.
Let’s compare some passages between a) the Latin b) the translation by Harris Rackham, 1938 in the Loeb volume and c) the translation by John F. Healy, 1991, in the book Natural History: A Selection.
