	Aneta B. Number of messages: 4487	&? Can we use this rather English short for "and" in Latin? Roman people didn't know it. Hm... Moreover, it doesn't fit here... if it is to be "et" in Latin...

	Aneta B. Number of messages: 4487	Yes, it could make more sens here. Thank you, jairhaas. But, why has & appeared here? IMHO it is not Latin short at all?

	Francky5591 Number of messages: 12396	I replaced this anachronic character with a regular "et"

	jairhaas Number of messages: 261	The sign appears in the text itself (many times), which is from the 15th century, meaning that at this relatively late stage of the Latin language it actually exists in that language. Or maybe the author borrowed it from Spanish, which is his nationality.

	Francky5591 Number of messages: 12396	Hi jairhaas! You're right, according to wikipedia this sign was already used in Latin script 1st century AD. So I'll put it back in the text, of course it won't be translated and left as it is in the translation as well. Source : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ampersand
