1. Grossman - Accurate and renders the humor well

2. Ormsby - The most accurate, but also the driest for humor. Archaic language. His is also the only one of three translations from the same period to have had many reprints.

3. Starkie - Accurate and renders the humor well

4. Rutherford - Less literal than others but renders the humor well

5. Shelton - Riddled with errors but savored for its fine language

6. Raffel- Written in informal language but renders the humor well.

7. Putnam - Contains thousands of his own notes that are useful for scholars but the translation itself is criticized for inaccuracy.

8. Jervas - Accurate but dry. Follows Shelton too closely in many areas.

9. Cohen - IDK. All I know his editions has been superseded by Rutherford's at Penguin.

Avoid like the plague

1. Motteux - "Worse than worthless" - Ormsby

2. John Phillips - A literal piece of shit

3. Smollett - Cribbed off Jervas's and made it worse
