  • Sinhalese, ritual-dance, and Konkan folklore — added Arthur A. Perera's Sinhalese Folklore Notes, Ceylon, W. O. E. Oesterley's The Sacred Dance, and the complete Volume II Folk Lore Notes, Konkan by A. M. T. Jackson and R. E. Enthoven. The editions preserve their stated chapters, notes, glossaries, indexes, and historical editorial boundaries; front-furniture images and Gutenberg production matter are excluded explicitly. Added Sinhala, Sri Lankan, Konkan, and Ritual and Sacred Performance doorways.
  • Comparative religion and ritual history — added Lewis Richard Farnell's The Evolution of Religion, Grant Allen's The Evolution of the Idea of God, and Reginald Maxwell Woolley's Coronation Rites. The three complete historical studies preserve their source notes, indexes, documentary apparatus, and explicit period boundaries; evolutionary, colonial, confessional, and diffusionist claims are identified as historical arguments rather than current universal explanations. Added the History of Religion and Ritual doorway.
  • Indian epics and primitive art — added John Campbell Oman's The Great Indian Epics and Franz Boas's Primitive Art. The epics' appendices/footnotes and Boas's text-only figure explanations are preserved; excluded image layers are explicit. Fornander's Hawaiian Volume I remains held for a dedicated bilingual/genealogy renderer.
  • Pan-Celtic folklore — added E. M. Wilmot-Buxton's Old Celtic Tales, with adaptation/source framing and a new Pan-Celtic Folklore doorway. The Isle of Man collection remains held while nested verse blocks are repaired.
  • Japanese, Chinese, Sindhi/Gujarati, and Ukrainian folklore — added Nixon-Roulet's Japanese Folk Stories and Fairy Tales, Davis and Chow-Leung's Chinese Fables and Folk Stories, Kincaid's Folk Tales of Sind and Guzarat, and Kowalsky's Ukrainian Folk Songs. Translation, source-contributor, editorial, national-advocacy, and community boundaries are explicit; new Sind and Gujarat and Ukrainian doorways were added.

Walter Fewkes's The Tusayan Ritual, and Paul Radin's The Ritual and Significance of the Winnebago Medicine Dance. New Southwest and Great Lakes doorways make authorization, archival mediation, named contributors, and cultural-protocol boundaries explicit.
  • Ritual and Greek-religion studies — added Edwin Sidney Hartland's Ritual and Belief and Lewis Richard Farnell's Outline-History of Greek Religion, with a Greek Religion and Ritual doorway. Essays, endnotes, bibliographies, literature lists, and early-twentieth-century historical-method framing are explicit.
  • West African and diasporic folklore — added Elphinstone Dayrell's Ikom Folk Stories from Southern Nigeria and Francis Hindes Groome's Gypsy Folk-Tales, with new West African Oral Literature and Traveling and Diasporic Traditions doorways. Storyteller, collector, editor, translator, and colonial/diasporic mediation are explicit.
  • Tibetan and Chinese folklore — added W. F. T. O'Connor's Folk Tales from Tibet and N. B. Dennys's The Folk-Lore of China, with dedicated Tibetan Folk Tales and Chinese Folklore doorways. Tale/essay boundaries, image omissions, source notes, and collector/compiler/colonial mediation are explicit.
  • Khasi and Santal oral literature — added Mrs. Rafy's Folk-Tales of the Khasis and Cecil Henry Bompas's Folklore of the Santal Parganas, with dedicated Khasi and Santal Oral Literature doorways. Tale counts, glossaries, appendices, image exclusions, collector/translator mediation, and living-community boundaries are explicit.
  • Highland and Greenlandic Inuit oral folklore — added John Gregorson Campbell's Superstitions of the Highlands and Islands of Scotland and Knud Rasmussen's Eskimo Folk-Tales in W. Worster's English rendering, with dedicated Oral Folklore and Belief and Greenlandic Inuit Oral Literature doorways. Collector, editor, renderer, storyteller, and community-provenance boundaries are explicit; image art is disclosed and excluded.
  • Ancient China, Celtic, Roman, and Greek religion — added Herbert Giles's Religions of Ancient China, Edward Anwyl's Celtic Religion in Pre-Christian Times, Cyril Bailey's The Religion of Ancient Rome, and Ernest Gardner's Religion and Art in Ancient Greece. New shelf doorways distinguish Chinese religious history, Pan-Celtic religion and ritual, and Roman religion and ritual; Gardner's three nonessential images and terminal ads are explicitly excluded.
  • Fresh folklore-theory studies — added John Fiske's Myths and Myth-Makers and H. Stanley Redgrove's Bygone Beliefs from complete, image-free Gutenberg witnesses. The existing public Legends of Babylon and Egypt edition was identity-checked and deliberately not duplicated.
  • Fresh anthropology batch — added Edward B. Tylor's joined sixth-edition Primitive Culture (Volumes I–II), preserving its four prefaces, nineteen chapters, embedded notes, and Volume II index. The work is explicitly framed as historical anthropology with superseded social-evolutionary and colonial categories; two source images are disclosed and excluded.
  • Fresh Greek and Latin-American mythology studies — added Hartley Burr Alexander's Latin-American Mythology and Jane Ellen Harrison's Prolegomena to the Study of Greek Religion, with dedicated Native American and Greek Myth/Religion/Art doorways. Their chapters, notes, bibliography, appendix, footnotes, indexes, historical methods, and excluded image apparatus are explicitly bounded.
  • Fresh Egyptian and demonology studies — added Lewis Spence's Myths and Legends of Ancient Egypt and Moncure Daniel Conway's joined two-volume Demonology and Devil-lore. Their chapter structures, indexes, notes, chronology/tables, and historical boundaries are preserved; image apparatus is disclosed and excluded from Markdown.
  • Fresh Gutenberg comparative and magical studies — added T. W. Doane's Bible Myths and Their Parallels in Other Religions and Éliphas Lévi's The History of Magic in A. E. Waite's attributed English translation, with a new Christian Comparative Religion doorway. Both editions preserve their historical methods and translation boundaries; image layers are disclosed and excluded from Markdown.
  • Fresh Gutenberg comparative studies — added George Laurence Gomme's Folklore as an Historical Science and Daniel G. Brinton's The Myths of the New World, with a new Native American Comparative Mythology doorway. Both are preserved as historical scholarship with explicit framing for superseded racial, evolutionary, and colonial categories; Gomme's 28 image elements are disclosed and excluded from the Markdown edition.
  • Fresh Gutenberg folklore batch — added W. H. Davenport Adams's Curiosities of Superstition, Robert Means Lawrence's The Magic of the Horse-shoe, James M. Mackinlay's Folklore of Scottish Lochs and Springs, and Angelo de Gubernatis's joined two-volume Zoological Mythology. The recursive intake preserves verse, tables, nested arguments, notes, indexes, and explicit volume boundaries; a new Animal Mythology doorway records the historical scope.
  • Fresh Gutenberg folklore studies — added Helen A. Clarke's A Guide to Mythology, Rustom Pestonji Masani's Folklore of Wells, and James Grant's The Mysteries of All Nations. Image layers are disclosed and excluded where present; the complete textual units and historical terminology are retained with source colophons.
  • Fresh Gutenberg intake / four complete editions — added W. M. Flinders Petrie's The Religion of Ancient Egypt, Andrew Lang's Modern Mythology, Lewis Spence's historical English The Popol Vuh retelling, and Daniel G. Brinton's Religions of Primitive Peoples. Each edition preserves a complete public-domain Gutenberg witness with a source colophon and explicit historical framing; Spence is identified as a retelling rather than a critical K'iche' text, and Brinton's superseded terminology is not presented as current anthropology. Added the new History of Anthropology and K'iche' shelf doorways.
  • Webtext harvest / nine complete editions — added Andrew Lang's The Making of Religion and Myth, Ritual and Religion I–II, Practical Mysticism by Evelyn Underhill, Hindu Gods and Heroes by Lionel D. Barnett, The Life and Legends of Saint Francis of Assisi, Barlaam and Ioasaph, The Legends of the Jews I–IV, He Xiangu Precious Scroll, and the Japanese Mud-Sea Ancient Record. Each is a whole-work source edition with a frozen public-domain or Wikisource witness, source colophon, explicit historical/editorial boundary, and no OCR or translation layer added in this tranche. New Christian, Indian, and Jewish shelf doorways were added alongside the texts.
  • Chinese / Guanyin Baojuan — opened a Buddhist and popular-devotion room with the complete Traditional Chinese reading text of the Xiangshan Baojuan (The Precious Scroll of Incense Mountain), a prose-and-verse performance scripture recounting Princess Miaoshan's renunciation, ordeal, underworld journey, practice at Incense Mountain, healing sacrifice, and manifestation as Guanyin. The deterministic edition preserves Chinese Wikisource revision 740305 as 114 prose blocks, 101 verse blocks containing 1,114 lines, three source sections, the ritual close, 卷終, and the two terminal compiler/editor statements. It retains the electronic witness's inline variant notices and explicitly makes no English-translation, scan-level collation, or settled-authorship claim.
  • Library-wide Ready reconciliation — promoted 143 already-reviewed house-style improvements into the public Celtic, Tocharian, Digger, and Denko collections, restoring institutional colophon language and required closing tree markers without changing their translated or archival bodies. Reconciled eleven Carpatho-Rusyn Ready mirrors from their cleaner public copies so internal source-packet paths remain private. A complete identity-level comparison now accounts for all 583 Ready files: 371 exact same-path public mirrors, ninety-four exact Orphic relocations, 117 Ramakien source units represented in the complete consolidated epic, and Thomas Taylor's Timaeus and Critias represented by its rights-cleared Greek philosophy edition. No unexplained unpublished Ready item remains.
  • Buddhist / Tibetan / Atiśa — published An Aspirational Prayer to the Lineage (Degé Tengyur D4389 / Toh 4389), a concise prayer for lucidity at death, realization in the intermediate state, a Dharma-centered rebirth, bodhisattva discipline, and spontaneous accomplishment of the three kāyas and five wisdoms. The independent English translation is presented with the complete Tibetan source, exact witness and folio identification, and one transparent textual emendation retained in the note.

  • Canon Coverage Batch 6 — five new doorways — published Mór Jókai's complete Hungarian Az arany ember (five parts, forty-nine chapters, authorial postface); the complete selected 1885 Brinton edition of the Xajilá family Kaqchikel chronicle (164 Kaqchikel–English units plus twenty-one English-only units and 3,707 preserved historical glyph placements); Gendun Drub's complete fifty-six-line Tibetan Song of the Eastern Snow-Mountain in Johan van Manen's full 1919 edition; J. C. Lawson's complete seven-chapter Modern Greek folklore study with all 1,530 notes and explicit survivalist/extractive-method framing; and Marjory Wardrop's complete 1894 English anthology of thirty-eight Georgian, Mingrelian, and Gurian tales plus twenty-eight Mingrelian proverbs. All five are exact, deterministic, asset-complete releases requiring no OCR or new translation. Coverage remains deliberately non-inflating: Hungarian is source-language-only; Kaqchikel and Tibetan language coverage is partial; Lawson is mediated English study rather than Greek-language coverage; Wardrop supplies English reader access with no Georgian or Mingrelian source text.
  • Native American / Haida / Oral Literature — opened a nation-specific Haida Gwaii room with the complete 1905 Haida Texts and Myths: Skidegate Dialect, recorded and translated by John R. Swanton with Henry Moody and named Haida narrators and source authorities. The deterministic edition preserves all seventy-two units, 1,102 numbered note divisions containing 1,109 footnote paragraphs, eleven contextual notes, fifteen historical tables, 2,421 interlinear word pairs, five byte-identical diagrams, and terminal notes through printed page 448: 221,285 source/rendered token boundaries with exact ordered-text equality. Fourteen units print Haida—thirteen Southern/Skidegate and one Northern/Masset—while fifty-eight are printed only in English; coverage is therefore reader-covered for Haida oral-literary culture and only qualified partial-bilingual evidence for the Haida language. A new 3,812-word Haida doorway uses current Council of the Haida Nation names, distinguishes living Southern and Northern language work, preserves the interpreter/narrator chain and colonial Jesup–BAE–GPO setting, and states that United States public-domain status is not community endorsement or authority for detached ceremonial reuse. Five electronic layers are excluded without losing visible historical text. No translation, OCR, modernization, abridgment, or lexical repair was performed.
  • Uralic / Estonian Classical Fiction — opened a classical-fiction room with A. H. Tammsaare's complete Tõde ja õigus I, the 1926 first volume of the five-volume cycle, in Estonian. The deterministic edition assembles all 528 author-text leaves and thirty-nine chapters from exact scan-backed Estonian Wikisource revisions: 160,427 source/rendered token boundaries and exact ordered-text equality. Page histories establish a genuine Pikne-source/Kaar-proofing lineage, and a twenty-four-leaf independent scan spread found no divergence. The release excludes 1974 title/design matter, Herald Eelma's design and illustration layer, three signed editor glosses, bibliography, and colophon while preserving four poems, fifteen star breaks, 68 page-break word continuations, seven source-supplied displayed corrections, historical spelling, and punctuation. A new 3,781-word Estonian doorway distinguishes language from state, Estonian from Finnish and the Indo-European Baltic languages, and common Estonian from distinct Võro, Seto, and Livonian traditions. This is complete Estonian source-language coverage for volume I, not an English translation or the whole pentalogy. No translation, OCR, modernization, abridgment, or lexical repair was performed.
  • African / South African Literature and Political Witness — opened an authored Black South African political-literary room with Sol T. Plaatje's complete Native Life in South Africa. The deterministic edition preserves the historical fourth-edition work unit from title matter, dedication, contents, “Who is the Author?”, and Plaatje's prologue through all twenty-four chapters, epilogue, and Report of the Lands Commission: 130,305 selected source/rendered tokens, 71 restored quotation regions, 50 source footnotes, 13 section breaks, and exact ordered-text equality. It excludes Gutenberg's 1998 electronic foreword, Neil Parsons's later introduction, advertisements, electronic correction apparatus, and platform furniture while disclosing that the apparatus's 32 resulting readings are embodied in the transcription and that the ASCII source lacks named portraits and a map image. A new 2,809-word South African doorway keeps English-language reader coverage for Plaatje's Black South African and Tswana intellectual field distinct from Setswana-language coverage and from every other South African language and literature. No translation, OCR, modernization, abridgment, or lexical repair was performed by Good Works.
  • Uralic / Finnish Classical Fiction — published Aleksis Kivi's complete fourteen-chapter Seitsemän veljestä in historical Finnish from a Project Lönnrot transcription preserved through exact Finnish Wikisource revisions. The deterministic edition retains 81,218 source/rendered tokens, 2,641 prose paragraphs, 89 song/verse blocks, and 338 quoted lines with exact ordered-text equality. The root page records first publication in four booklets in 1870 and one volume in 1873; Good Works does not overclaim a scan-level collation to a particular physical 1873 copy. A new 2,600-word Finnish literary doorway distinguishes authored fiction from the shelf's compiled song and charm archive, and keeps Finnish separate from Finland's full multilingual literature, Karelian, Sámi languages, and the wider Uralic family. This is complete Finnish source-language coverage with no English translation. No translation, OCR, modernization, abridgment, or lexical repair was performed.
  • Japanese / Modern Fiction — opened a modern-fiction room with Natsume Sōseki's complete 1914 Kokoro in Aozora Bunko card 773's Japanese new-character/new-kana transcription. The deterministic edition preserves all three parts and 110 numbered sections, all 4,567 ruby readings as lossless base(reading) plain text, four JIS X 0213 gaiji converted to their stated Unicode characters, and all three substantive Aozora correction notes. Two electronic page-change markers and XHTML furniture are excluded. The exact Shift-JIS XHTML, card, reuse policy, and four formerly external gaiji assets are privately checksummed. A new 1,833-word general introduction to Japanese literature distinguishes Japanese-language coverage from Ainu, the distinct Ryukyuan languages, every people of Japan, and multilingual imperial/diasporic fields; the existing religious-literature introduction remains as a specialized doorway. This is complete Japanese source-language coverage, not a diplomatic 1914 newspaper witness or English translation. No translation, OCR, kana/character modernization, abridgment, or lexical repair was performed by Good Works.
  • Oceanic / Māori / Te Arawa Oral Literature — opened a dedicated Māori language-and-literary-culture doorway with the complete 1907 Hinemoa: With Notes and Vocabulary. The deterministic text preserves 4,040 selected source/rendered tokens with exact ordered-text equality: historical title matter, Fletcher's English introduction, the complete 28-paragraph and 1,995-token Māori narrative, a 21-row whakapapa table, forty note paragraphs, a 327-entry story vocabulary, two method paragraphs, and the printer line. The edition keeps historical unmacronized orthography and identifies Fletcher as editor, annotator, and teaching-reader compiler rather than story author or translator. Its stated chain names an unnamed descendant of Hinemoa as reciter at Mokoia in December 1849, G. S. Cooper as recorder, and Pirikawau as interpreter; the doorway separately names Wiremu Maihi Te Rangikāheke's larger place in early Te Arawa manuscript history without silently assigning him this exact edition. Grey's continuous English “Story of Hine-Moa” is linked as a separate companion witness, not merged into Fletcher. Coverage is historical Māori source-language-only: extensive learner apparatus, no continuous English translation. No translation, OCR, macronization, modernization, or lexical repair was performed.
  • Philippine / Cebuano Prose Fiction — opened a Cebuano child shelf with Vicente Rama's complete 1921 Larawan: Mga Sugilanon ug Dinalídalí. The deterministic edition preserves 15,639 source/rendered tokens with exact ordered-text equality: title matter, Rama's dated authorial preface, the fifteen-entry contents, all fifteen collected pieces, eighteen internal numbered divisions, the source-marked “Torcuata” gap, and final Katapusan. Eleven visible Project Gutenberg corrections inside the collection remain disclosed as transcription-layer readings; Good Works excludes Gutenberg furniture and post-collection advertisements and claims the complete collection-text unit rather than every physical leaf. The expanded Philippine doorway distinguishes Cebuano/Sebwano/Sugbuanon and speaker-used Binisaya/Bisaya from Tagalog, Filipino, and the wider set of distinct Visayan languages. This is historical Cebuano source-language coverage, not an English translation or modernization. No translation or OCR was performed.

  • Philippine / Tagalog Prose Fiction — opened a multilingual Philippine literatures shelf with José Rizal's complete Noli Me Tangere novel text in Pascual H. Poblete's first Tagalog translation, printed in Manila in 1909. The deterministic text preserves 190,341 source tokens, historical title matter and contents, Saturnina Rizal Hidalgo's publication note, Rizal's homeland address, chapters I–LXIII, Pangwacas na Bahagui, and all 282 notes. It is explicitly historical Tagalog, not Rizal's 1887 Spanish original or silently modernized Filipino. Gutenberg separated Poblete's preliminary Rizal biography as ebook 18282, so the page claims the complete 531-page novel text rather than the entire lxxv + 531 bound package. A new 5,013-word Philippine doorway keeps Tagalog distinct within oral, Indigenous-script, Spanish, English, regional-language, Muslim Mindanao, revolutionary, anti-dictatorship, and diaspora histories. The historical image zip is preserved privately; portrait, plates, title elements, and repeated ornaments await a separate visual gate. No translation or OCR was performed.
  • Korean / Classical Fiction — published Kim Man-jung's complete Kuunmong in the historical Korean text of the Wanpan 105-leaf edition from exact Korean Wikisource revision 430590. Revision 143853 names the edition; the corresponding 1916 Daju Seopo reissue at Seoul National University Kyujanggak matches the opening, terminal awakening, and lower-volume colophon. The edition preserves 17,843 source tokens across upper and lower volumes, excludes the uncleared modern-Korean column, and claims no leaf-by-leaf scan collation. A new 4,145-word Korean doorway spans scripts, oral tradition, classical poetry and fiction, women, popular print, colonial modernity, division, North and South Korea, and diaspora. This is original-language historical-orthography coverage, not a modern Korean or English reader translation. No translation or OCR was performed.
  • Bengali / Poetry and Song — opened the Bengali-language shelf with Rabindranath Tagore's complete 103-poem English Gitanjali: Song Offerings from Project Gutenberg 7164. The 14,590-token historical collection preserves Tagore's dedication, W. B. Yeats's introduction, and poems 1–103 in exact order. Its framing states that Tagore selected and recast poems from several Bengali books, so this author-English work is not identical to the 1910 Bengali Gitāñjali and does not count as Bengali original-language coverage. A new 4,622-word Bengali doorway spans ancient and medieval song, Hindu and Muslim traditions, prose and print, women, Nazrul, partition, the Language Movement, Bangladesh, West Bengal, Dalit and Indigenous relations, and diaspora. No translation or OCR was performed.
  • Portuguese / Brazilian Literature — opened the Brazilian room with Machado de Assis's complete 1881 Memórias Póstumas de Brás Cubas in its original Portuguese from Project Gutenberg 54829. The deterministic edition preserves 61,048 selected source tokens, “Ao leitor,” the dedication, and all 160 chapters from the Typographia Nacional first book edition. Historical spelling and the source heading typo CAPIULO CXXIV remain visible; Gutenberg wrappers, the electronic cover, and the duplicated terminal index are excluded. This is original-language Brazilian canon coverage, not an English translation. No translation or OCR was performed.
  • French / Renaissance Prose and Satire — published the complete inherited five-book Gargantua and Pantagruel collection in the historical English of Thomas Urquhart and Peter Antony Motteux from Project Gutenberg 1200: 316,820 preserved source/rendered tokens and 258 chapters across five books. The page identifies the posthumously printed Fifth Book's uncertain attribution and excludes Gutenberg wrapper matter, duplicate contents, illustration index, and the 54-image Gustave Doré layer. A new 6,111-word French-language doorway maps medieval linguistic plurality, Renaissance humanism, state standardization, women, Québec, Haiti and the Caribbean, distinct African and Indian Ocean fields, Asia and the Pacific, migration, diaspora, and the present shelf's original-language gaps. No translation or OCR was performed.
  • Italian / Medieval and Renaissance Prose — published Boccaccio's complete Decameron in John Payne's historical English from Project Gutenberg 23700: 307,437 source/rendered tokens, the plague and brigata frame, ten ordered storytelling days, all one hundred tales, authorial conclusion, and 488 notes. A new 5,426-word Italian-language doorway places Dante, Boccaccio, and Ariosto within a multilingual, regional, pre-national, national, colonial/postcolonial, migration, and diasporic field; it makes women and the distinct languages of Italy structural, and states that the three current works remain historical English reader editions rather than Italian original-language coverage. No translation or OCR was performed.
  • Portuguese / Theatre and Social Satire — published Aubrey F. G. Bell's complete bilingual 1920 Four Plays of Gil Vicente from Project Gutenberg 28399: 68,361 preserved source tokens, four Portuguese plays followed unit-by-unit by Bell's English, and the full variants, notes, proverbs, bibliography, chronology, and index. A new 4,931-word Portuguese-language doorway places Vicente and Camões inside a deliberately unfinished transcontinental map spanning medieval lyric, Brazil, five distinct African literary fields, Timor-Leste, Macau, Goa, creoles, women, Indigenous writing, and diaspora. The source is identified as Gutenberg's reproduction of the 1969 Kraus reprint of Bell's 1920 Cambridge edition; no translation or OCR was performed.
  • Persian / Romance and Frame Tales — opened a Persian narrative room with the complete Bakhtyār Nāma in Sir William Ouseley's manuscript-based English and W. A. Clouston's 1883 comparative edition. The 71,281-token archival text includes the ten-chapter frame romance, conclusion, 95 footnotes, transmission study, and Arabic-version appendices while identifying its courtly and Orientalist mediation.
  • Baltic / Lithuanian — published Antanas Baranauskas's complete Anykščių šilelis in the original Lithuanian from exact Wikisource revision 9397, preserving all 2,097 lexical tokens under CC BY-SA attribution. The poem deepens the new Lithuanian room beyond Metai through forest memory, ecological destruction, and cultural dispossession.
  • Baltic / Lithuanian — opened an explicit Lithuanian child shelf with Kristijonas Donelaitis's complete Metai in the original language. The four-season poem preserves 20,158 lexical tokens from exact Lithuanian Wikisource revision 11355 under CC BY-SA attribution.
  • Italian / Medieval Poetry — published Dante's complete Divine ComedyInferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso—in Longfellow's English as one 113,527-token reader work from Project Gutenberg 1004, rather than three publication shards.
  • Spanish / Prose Fiction — published both complete parts of Cervantes's Don Quixote in John Ormsby's English as one 426,264-token reader work, built from Gutenberg's improved complete volumes 5921 and 5946. The later attached Doré images and electronic image note were excluded while Ormsby's prefaces, dedication, and notes were retained.
  • Baltic / Latvian — opened an explicit Latvian child shelf with Andrejs Pumpurs's complete six-canto Lāčplēsis (1888) in the original language. The edition preserves six exact Wikisource revisions under CC BY-SA attribution, changes no lexical content, and keeps the copyrighted 2005 English Bearslayer adaptation out of the archive.
  • German / Drama and Philosophical Literature — published Goethe's complete Faust, Part I in Bayard Taylor's 1870 English verse translation. The edition preserves 38,092 selected-source lexical tokens from Project Gutenberg 14591, excludes Gutenberg wrapper matter and the mismatched Harry Clarke image layer, and states plainly that Part II is not included.
  • French / Joan of Arc — opened and expanded a 1,022,603-word source house in 23 public pages. The documentary layer now includes a source-critical introduction and chronology; the five original letter witnesses in Winifred Stephens's public-domain English with four current repositories and one unresolved custody stated plainly; Joan's copied summons to Henry VI; the complete condemnation trial in W. P. Barrett's English; T. Douglas Murray's condemnation and nullification collection; Christine de Pizan's complete, scan-validated 61-stanza Ditié from July 1429; a guide to the chronicles; thirteen complete Burgundian chapters from Monstrelet; and two explicitly dependent Wavrin excerpts. Three complete older historical studies stand beside a new literature and reception room containing Shakespeare, Schiller, Mark Twain, and Bernard Shaw. Fifteen exact electronic source packets and 54 checksummed files support the edition; the archived modern Joan website remains private and was not copied.

2026-07-06

  • Korean / Cheondoism Donghak — opened the Korean public shelf and published three early Donghak Good Works Translations from the official Cheondogyo Central Headquarters source route: Podeokmun — On Spreading Virtue, Nonhakmun — On Learning, and Kyohunga — Song of Instruction, with source text included and modern copyrighted English translations avoided.

2026-07-05

  • Tocharian / Short Texts and Fragments — published Daily Veneration of the Buddhas, a compact Good Works Translation from two damaged Tocharian B Buddhist devotional witnesses, PK NS 48 and 258 from Duldur-akur and THT 552 from Kizil Ming-öy, with source-close controls and the Tocharian source text included.

2026-07-03

  • Chinese / Luodao — published The Scroll of Bitter Work and Awakening to the Way, a complete Good Works Translation of Luo Qing's Ming-era 苦功悟道卷 from the Tianjin/NLC 1518 Chinese witness, with the scan-based Chinese source text included on the page and a new Luodao room under Salvationist and Sectarian Traditions.

2026-07-01

  • Japanese / Tenrikyo — added a historical witness room with two public-domain English outsider accounts: D. C. Greene's 1896 Asiatic Society article Tenrikyo; or, The Teaching of the Heavenly Reason and R. B. Peery's 1897 The Gist of Japan Tenrikyo excerpt. These are filed as witness/context pages, not Tenrikyo doctrine, and the Oomoto core drafts remain out of public release until they are cleaner.

2026-06

2026-06-30

  • Japanese / Tenrikyo — published a complete fresh Good Works Translation of Ofudesaki — Tip of the Writing Brush, Tenrikyo's central written scripture: one collected page, seventeen internal parts, and 1,711 waka-style verses translated from the Japanese Wikisource/NDL public witness route.
  • Japanese / Tenrikyo — mapped the Tenrikyo smallest true core canon: the Ofudesaki, the Mikagura-uta, and the Osashizu; then published a complete fresh Good Works Translation of Mikagura-uta — Songs for the Service from the Wikisource/NDL public-domain route. The route work separated official overview pages, public-domain Japanese witnesses, NDL Osashizu Zenshu scan leads, modern search tools, and rights boundaries for future Good Works translations.
  • Scythian / Procopius — the Procopius Wars steppe and Black Sea material was repaired from forty separate chapter-slice public pages into one consolidated source dossier, Procopius — Wars: Steppe and Black Sea Passages, with a contents table, Greek source appendix, and archived shard provenance.
  • Good Works / publication-unit repair — the public library repaired a major run of split or misleading units into honest reader-facing shapes: The History of Lapland is now one complete work page; Rumi's Masnavi Book I material is now clearly a selected-section dossier; the Mandaean Book of John is one book page instead of seventy-six chapter pages; the Thai Ramakien is one Rama I manuscript-book translation dossier instead of 117 source-unit pages; the Tevaram material is one current translation dossier instead of seventeen mixed part/volume pages; Mātṛceṭa's page is now explicitly Chapter 1; and the Uddhava Gita excerpt is now titled The Twenty-Four Gurus from the Uddhava Gita.
  • Greco-Roman / Greek Philosophy — Thomas Taylor's Neoplatonic English translation of Plato's Timaeus and Critias, or Atlanticus entered the public Greek philosophy shelf after the modern-reprint hold was cleared against older 1793 and 1804 Taylor witnesses.
  • Slavic / Carpatho-Rusyn Folklore — eleven source-checked Good Works Translations entered the public Slavic shelf from the Rusyn / Hutsul Ready batch: Hnatiuk folk-Biblical legends, Holovatsky's Baida ballad, and Szuchiewicz Hutsul ethnographic sections on foodways and wooden craft.
  • Japanese / Oomoto — the Oomoto public shelf was repaired into its own Japanese subshelf, with a public introduction, shelf description, and the 1920 Oomoto-Kyo: An Account of One of Japan's Popular Faiths historical witness page.

2026-06-22

  • Anthronomy / Giza Before the Pharaohs — the public Giza dossier was rebuilt around the inherited sacred-and-technical monument field argument. The Fourth Dynasty evidence remains central, but the page now asks whether that evidence proves first origin or later possession, repair, completion, and royalization.

2026-06-13

  • Anthronomy / Pre-Neolithic Origin of the Pyramids of Giza — the first public Giza casebook page was created and revised as a serious Anthronomy dossier. This entry is retained as part of the publication history; the page was later replaced in place by Giza Before the Pharaohs.

2026-06-12

  • Anthronomy — a new public shelf opened for speculative humanities, anomalous evidence, contact hypotheses, phantom geographies, ethnonym trails, deep chronology, and disciplined claim-language.
  • Anthronomy support pages — the shelf opened with a description, introduction, reader's guide, glossary, and casebook structure.
