Hello all. Being Baptist, I am thinking about doing "Antipaedobaptism" by John Tombes. I will probably collect the Greek for it closer to when I get paid, as it will cost me about $175 to convert at about 870 instances. But there are a few reasons why this work is interesting besides it seeming like one of the largest treatments of early Antipaedobaptistic thought. They are:
1. The text has already been transcribed by EEBO-TCP and further corrected by Project Puritas.
2. There is almost no footnoting within the text. Everything is in the body, in all 4 Parts.
3. It looks like not only the Latin is translated within the text, but even the Greek and Hebrew is explained to a certain degree.
4. Overall, there are about 1,100 non-spelling errors according to the error sheet at over 1,500 pages.
Seems like it would be a good contribution as one of the larger, if not the largest Puritan-Baptistic texts. Any thoughts or suggestions? Wouldnt be immediate as I got Knox to go through first, but, would love to have the Greek ready to insert and edit and format when I get done Lord willing. Been wanting to do this one for a while, just didnt realize until today giving it a second look how doable it really seems.
