Genres

The ancients classed all literature into the following:

• Rhetoric
• Law
• Epic
• Tragedy
• Comedy
• Lyric Poetry
• History
• Medicine
• Mathematic
• Natural Science

Obviously there are some works which parts fall into many genres, and others which are altogether extraordinary.

Translation recommendations prioritize: 1) being based on majority text types, i.e non-critical, & 2) use archaic—or older—language, which is less demeaned. Considered also, of course, is the character of the translator(s).

Where translation is unspecified for Christian texts, presume the Nicæne Fathers or Post-Nicæne Fathers series.

My use of Wade-Giles for Chinese is not an endorsement of Taiwanese independence. It’s the traditional English spelling of Chinese names.
