These articles gives a few more quotes from the Latin; it looks mostly competent (though the second article alleges the presence of grammatical errors much more severe than anything quoted in these sources) but not particularly excellent in terms of classical style. Still, an amusing project, and it would be nice to have access to the full text, but I can't find it publicly available.

Yes, I wonder where you can get it. It isn't on Amazon. The only option I can find is to pick it up at the store in Paris.
