Good idea. Too bad it’s unreadable.
In this edition each line of each translation is listed one above the other. So instead of having line 1 then 2 then 3 of one translation with the other translation beside it, you have line one of translation one, then line of of the next translation below it, then line one of the next translation below it. Then line two of the first translation, then line two of the second translation, then line two of the third translation. In effect, you have to read every third line to read a translation. It’s basically unreadable.
