	Tantine Number of messages: 2747	Hi I don't agree with removing the word "with", which seems quite appropriate, used with the word "foreknowledge" as, in English, we generally do things "with the foreknowledge of" something: "John drank five whiskies with the foreknowledge that he would drive his car afterwards". If the words "according to" or "following" are used the phrase becomes totally meaningless in English. I know that the word "secundo" (following) is used in the source text but literal word-to-word translations very rarely come over in the target language. In my opinion "with" is perfectly appropriate. Bises Tantine
