Hi Aneta,

The verb tenses are somehow confusing.

Could you explain the line in different words so that we can find the most suitable tenses?

Yes, you're right Lilly. It can be confusing indeed. I had some doubts how to translate the conditional sentence. I probably should have typed in this way:

So, if we considered that the previous law books were also these historical ones, it would turned out that the previous books also contained the glorious history of the period.


Is this better?
