It reads more like Parker’s translation than Luibheid and Rorem’s. 

Here is the first page next to Parker’s text for comparison.

A 1980 reprint (originally published 1957).

No mention in the book’s introduction of the Areopagite being β€œpseudo”, despite being published half a century after Koch and Stiglmayr’s findings.

No mention of a specific translator, just the β€œeditors of the Shrine of Wisdom”.

We don't make enough of the fact that the first Christian denomination with which extraterrestrials made contact of the Third Kind (in Papua New Guinea in 1959) was Anglicanism (they even stayed for the duration of Evensong)
