Greek commentary typesetting

About this sample

A 36-page sample from J. B. Lightfoot's classic commentary on Galatians (1890 edition). The challenge is dense polytonic Greek inside English notes. Each section starts with the full Greek text, then a line of variant readings, then two-column notes that open with a bold Greek lemma. The introduction has margin notes and long footnotes in Greek and Hebrew. An index of Greek words follows Greek alphabetical order. Trim 165 × 245 mm, Libertinus Serif. Print PDF with bleed, InDesign package, IDML. Self-initiated sample, public-domain text.
