He is currently preparing an annotated chronology in English of Spinoza’s life and works (scheduled 2014).
The structure of the volume is unique in comparison with other books of the 'companion' genre. Instead of the regular eight to ten essays on the main aspects of the philosopher's thought, the current volume is structured more like a dictionary, framed by various introductory essays. The book consists of six divisions, each of which is accompanied by its own bibliography. The first division tells the story of Spinoza's life through a documentary history, presented more as a diary or chronicle than a narrative essay. This is a fresh, detailed, and very helpful unit . . . a fine volume summarizing one epoch in Spinoza scholarship.
