• The short description should be a single short sentence in the active voice that summarizes the plot. "A man is transformed into a donkey and goes on an adventure" or something like that. Not, "In this book, this thing happens, then this other thing..."

• The title of the book is "The Golden Ass", not "The Golden Ass of Apuleius". Can you update the cover/titlepage images, SE identifier throughout the ebook, and the Github URL? The easiest way to update the images is to create a new dummy draft and copy the images it generates in to the real repo.

editors-dedication.xhtml:

• Lint is complaining because the file uses structuring for poems, songs, etc. A more correct way to structure this dedication is like this:

		<section id="dedication" epub:type="dedication">
			<p>To<br/>
			<b>Stéphane Mallarmé</b><br/>
			This Metamorphosis of<br/>
			an Ancient Decadent</p>
		</section>

Instead of targeting the second <span> element you can target the <b> for the CSS.

publishers-introduction.xhtml:

• "W. A. As" needs to be tagged as an abbreviation.

• Roman numerals are set using uppercase ASCII. You can make this change in an [Editorial] commit.

• Dramatis personae doesn't need italics.

• I believe "ungles" should be tagged as Latin instead of French.

translators-dedication.xhtml:

• "To the Right Honourable and Mighty Lord..." is too long to be the title. The page scans title this section "The Epistle Dedicatory".

• "To the Right Honourable and Mighty Lord..." can be placed inside of a <header> element along with the title.

• This section is not a letter and shouldn't use letter semantics like "se:letter.dateline," "z3998:salutation," "z3998:valediction," or "z3998:sender".

• Typically we stay away from <small> elements. Use CSS to enlarge text in other areas.

tramslators-introduction-2.xhtml:

• <i epub:type="se:name.publication.book" xml:lang="la">Books of the Golden Ass</i> doesn't need the language tag. The title is in English

authors-preface.xhtml:

• #10

chapter-2-11.xhtml:

• Nilus is the Latin form of Nile, but it doesn't receive italics as it is a proper name (SEMOS 8.2.9.2). You can convert the <i> in a <span>.

chapter-3-14.xhtml:

• Grecia is the Latin form of Greece, but it doesn't receive italics as it is a proper name (SEMOS 8.2.9.2). You can convert the <i> in a <span>.

chapter-4-19.xhtml:

• #3

chapter-4-20.xhtml:

• Thracia is the Latin form of Thrace, but it doesn't receive italics as it is a proper name (SEMOS 8.2.9.2). You can convert the <i> in a <span>.

chapter-5-22.xhtml:

• I recommend changing epub:type="z3998:poem" to epub:type="z3998:verse" in this chapter, because the book states "he gave answer in Latin verse..."

• Sicilie is the Latin form of Sicily, but it doesn't receive italics as it is a proper name (SEMOS 8.2.9.2). You can convert the <i> in a <span>.

chapter-3-39.xhtml:

• "Coniuncti terram proscindunt boves ut in futurum loeta germinent sata" doesn't appear in a separate paragraph in the page scans (p. 183).

chapter-3-39.xhtml:

• "Quorsum vacuum ducis asinum?" doesn't appear in a separate paragraph in the page scans (p. 200).

chapter-10-46.xhtml:

• Grecia is the Latin form of Greece, but it doesn't receive italics as it is a proper name (SEMOS 8.2.9.2). You can convert the <i> in a <span>.

chapter-11-48.xhtml:

content.opf:

• Lines 57, 63, and 70 need their properties to be property="role".
