Who is J B Baille from The Phenomenology of Mind and what is their importance?

J B Baille is the translator. He has provided English readers with extensive notes, so they can easily check to see which German words he has translated in which way. These notes are meant to back up his unspoken claim that he is providing an accurate translation of Hegel's work. Baille is well aware that to translate is a special responsibility, and that all works of translation will face criticism, some highly skilled and some not so.
