 Other than that, it looks great! Good job!

+Hi Mikenna, thanks for the suggestion. I tried to reword the short description of praise poem 2 and clarified in the overview section that each of the praise poems included come from separate/distinct ceremonies or events. Does that seem a little less confusing? If not, please let me know and I'll try to restructure again. Thanks.

+This is very well done, including lots of rich information.
+Two things might clarify. Somewhere -- note that Rothenberg has created "versions" which are not straight or literal translations, they are a bit "free."
+Second:  it looks like you went to the original source for the source languages AND literal translation. That's brilliant, very useful. But it's not 100% clear from the text that's what we're getting here -- and I think it adds value to make that a bit more clear!  Maybe an intro note saying, the following is from .... etc.

+Is it noteworthy that Rothenberg's versions strip some of the name and historical specificity?
