The html-edition I offer at Marteau is equipped with a dictionary to be read alongside the text - here the direct link. If you have problems with individual words leave a message on this page (with page reference) and I will refine the dictionary or give translations here on this page. --Olaf Simons 17:06, 13 August 2007 (CEST)
