düzeltmelerden önceki asıl çeviri:
-----------
'Daha önce kaydedilen anıların korunmasını sağlamak, ve birinin kendi zamanının meselelerini daha sonra gelenlere göstermek için' bu sonuncusunun onun 'tarihsel gerçeklerin hakiki doğrulukları'na yaptığı gibi heveslendirerek ona 'korkunç acılar'a mâl olduğunu açıklar.

Hi Tantine!
Could you explain me a little bit the part "aspiring as he does to 'the real truth of historical facts'," in the source text? What is the use of "as he does" here?

Merhaba smy

I think here it should be between commas, in order to help with the reading in English

If the sentence was written otherwise, it could have been written:

"...'great pains', as he is aspiring to 'the real truth ..."

It's a rather precious way of saying the same thing.

Hope this helps
