In reply to Geetanjali. Thanks, Geetanjali! There's definitely space for another study! It's certainly the case that historical knowledge is limited by the linguistic repertories of researchers.

Very interesting, informative and pertinent. I was wondering whether the authors have any ideas about the field of history. How many historians have actual knowledge of the sources they study and how often do they use translators?
