Euripides’ Iphigenia at Aulis
Donald Richardson and Scott Richardson
There have been some excellent efforts by modern translators in rendering the choral parts of Aristophanes’ comedies as discernibly entertaining songs, but so far there has been little serious endeavor toward doing the same with the songs of tragedy. This translation is an attempt to do that. The songs herein are unmistakably songs. The content, tone, and themes of each are strictly Euripides’; their formats and musical idioms are modern.
Because this is not a line-for-line translation and because we have taken liberties with the lyrics, we are calling this an adaptation rather than a translation. In our own minds it is a translation, however, for it is more in keeping with the spirit of Iphigenia at Aulis than any other version we know of.
Music has been composed for all the songs. It has been arranged for keyboard, guitar, bass, and drums and is available through either collaborator upon request. [from the Preface] -

Q: The Sayings of Jesus
Ivan Havener OSB and Polag Athanasius OSB
Includes selections from the Gospels in the Revised Standard version according to the arrangement in Polag, A. Fragmenta Q., 1982.
For over a century, biblical scholars have agreed that parts of the synoptic gospels (Matthew, Mark and Luke) are picked up from a previous source—a lost gospel, which is popularly called Q (from the German word Quelle which means source).The Q-hypothesis rests on very solid grounds and most scholars accept it. This book tells us all about it. It also discusses some unresolved questions (such as: Was Q written in Aramaic or Greek?).
The reconstruction of Q, the lost gospel, is a challenging and formidable task. Using various critical literary methods, leading scholars have undertaken the work, and the reconstruction work of the German scholar Athanasius Polag is a major achievement. The author has enhanced and clarified his book by translating Polag’s reconstruction of Q.
