Help needed in Latin
[edit]Hello! I would need your help in Latin for some articles I am trying to turn into Good Articles.
1) Could you translate the following as faithfully as possible: "Novit beatitudo vestra cui se totamque ecclesiam discrimini commiserit Sixtus V. dum juxta propriae doctrinae sensus sacrorum bibliorum emendationem aggressus est; nec satis scio an gravius unquam periculum occurrerit"
2) I tried to summarise the long quotation in Latin in 192-193 by writing: "The first comittee was created by Gregory XIV on 7 February 1591. This commitee was presided by M. A. Colonna[10][11] and comprised of six other cardinals working on the revision; in this committee Bellarmin was, along with 10 other people, an advisor for the revision.[12]" Is it a faithful summary? Is there important details I missed, e.g. the position of the people (editor or advisor)?
3) I tried to summarise the long quotation in Latin in pp. 194-195 by writing: "This commitee was composed of 9 people of which M. A. Colonna, Antonius Agellius, Bellarmine, Petrus Morinus, Frederico Borromeo, Lelio Landi, and A. Rocca." Is it a faithful summary? Is there important details I missed, e.g. the position of the people (editor or advisor)?

- Hello again. The article now says: "The fourth commission was created by Gregory XIV on 7 February 1591. It was presided over by M. A. Colonna[8][9] and comprised six other cardinals working on the revision. Ten other people were part of the commission as advisors, including Robert Bellarmine.[7]"; and concerning the second commission: "Two people were members of this commission: M. A. Colonna, its president,[8][12] and William Allen. This commission also comprised eight other people as advisors: Bartholomew Miranda, Andrea Salvener, Antonius Agellius, Robert Bellarmine, Bartholomew Valverde, Lelio Landi, Petrus Morinus, and Angelo Rocca.[12]" Could you check if I got things right?
