"This English-language edition of the commentary volume is not confined to a translation of the French text. With a different readership in mind the author, Raymond Cazelles, has kindly agreed to certain modifications and additions. ... Johannes Rathofer of the University of Cologne was kind enough to undertake these changes and has thus contributed significantly to the final shape of this work"--P. [7].
