+The original translator/transcriber is Pierre Verger:
+https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pierre_Verger
+It looks from this site like Rothenberg probably made his workings from: Notes sur le culte des Orisa et Vodun à Bahia, la Baie de tous les Saints, au Brésil et à l’ancienne Côte des Esclaves en Afrique.
+http://www.pierreverger.org/en/pierre-fatumbi-verger-en/his-work/main-works.html
+Note that in Rothenberg's vocabulary a "working" is somewhat more provisional than a translation, i.e. it is a freer "version" that may not be authoritative and certainly is not literal or word for word.
