Robertson (Librarian of the Philippine Library and co-editor of the 55-volume series of historical reprints well called The Philippine Islands 1493-1898, so comprehensive are they) show the breadth of Rizal's historical scholarship, and that the only error mentioned is due to using a faulty reprint where the original was not available ...

The editor of the Hempel edition, VII, p.553 claims Lessing as responsible for the translation of the Journey, and also of Shandy.
