Synagogue records from Polish and Russian into English, Polish exile's diaries into Russian.

Well, Latin, Old Church Slavic and Ancient Greek, too, but only as a part of my degree.

I wouldn't be qualified to read Queen Boadicea, granted she left records. My first-hand appreciation of the original Beowulf is limited to the sound of it.

That said, I'm often called upon to translate quotations from medieval texts. Comes with the history package.
