New translation of Dignitatis humanae

Thomistica.net contributor Michael Pakaluk has produced a new draft translation of the Second Vatican Council's declaration on religious liberty Dignitatis humanae. December 7 was the fiftieth anniversary of the document's promulgation by Paul VI, and December 8 was the fiftieth anniversary of the Council's closing.

Michael tells me that his main goal was to produce an instrument for accurate study. He believes that his translation better reveals Dignitatis humanae's classical roots and the care with which the document was written. He welcomes any corrections and suggestions for improvement.

You can find Michael's translation here on his Academia.edu page.
