Any Italian speakers?

[Mark]

I have spent the last few months getting written works From l'Albero della Vita. At the moment I have a really wonderful commentary on the Agriculture course by Enzo Nastati. I can plod through this but if anyone feels that they could take on a section and make it into good English I would be happy to talk that through.

I am also working on his publication about the Holy nights on the physical etheric astral and spiritual planes.

I have just finished a basic introduction and one on new approaches to potentisation.

I think these are important works and they are publicly available to anyone who joins l'Albero.

Enzo Nastati has produced a very full and illustrated work on the Koberwitz course running to 400 sides of MSWord pages. Currently it is in Italian. I have made a rough translation of the first lecture and of the contents of this work. The latter is below.

I think at this rate I should have translated the whole lot by the time we kiss our backsides farewell in 2012. If we want it earlier I think it deserves some better and faster professional translation. This will cost a bit but in my opinion it is worth a lot.

I know some professional translators who are familiar with Italian and Anthroposophy. My questions are:
- who would be interested in reading this when it is ready?
- any ideas who might fund this project?
