We will publish a text only after its edition and rights record are ready.
The pilot catalog 01 / 03
First, the source.
These works are being assessed for the first corpus. A listing here marks a research candidate, not a released or rights-cleared edition.
Loading catalog…
No catalog entries match that search.
Not yet a reading edition. The pilot list is a work queue. Text, translations, and downloads will appear only after edition-specific source and rights review.
The library standard 02 / 03
Open by design.
Faithful by practice.
The library is built around source fidelity and public access. Automation may help people find a passage; it never becomes the source.
Complete editions
Released works will be complete, edition-aware, and identified by stable references.
↗Source on every record
Edition, year, source, rights basis, transcription history, and checksum travel with the text.
↗AI does not author
The canonical corpus stays faithful to documented editions. Search tools point back to the text.
↗Changes are visible
Corrections and edition changes are reviewed, dated, and preserved in version history.
↗Built to outlast one host
Versioned downloads and mirrors will make the collection independently preservable.
↗The first release focuses on verified Tier A public-domain editions. Works needing permission or further review stay out of the corpus until cleared.
A staged opening 03 / 03
Build it in the open.
Release it with care.
The published launch dates are being reset around source review and transcription readiness. The work moves forward in clear, verifiable steps.
Document the source
Find and review eligible editions; record provenance and rights before transcription is released.
Open the reading room
Publish the first verified texts with stable citations and downloadable source records.
Make it portable
Add read-only REST and MCP access, bulk export, and independent mirrors.
