Alastair Matthews combines factual knowledge, great attention to detail, thoroughness and linguistic expertise with kindness and efficiency. His feedback has been invaluable for my work as a translator, my work as a transcriber, and for my interpretation of the historical data. Due to his ability to work across historical as well as modern languages, and his eye for glitches and minute mistakes, his expertise will improve one’s work in ways one did not foresee. I remain in debt to his work, and his feedback continues to pay dividends in my ongoing research.
