What's New

This is the public additions log for the Good Works Library.

New public texts, shelves, collected editions, and major source batches go here with dates. The newest record is kept first. Older additions are being backfilled from the publication logs so this page can become the complete public memory of what entered the library and when.

  • The Native American shelves triple. Thirty-eight collections (~1.6 million words) open two new regions and a dozen new rooms. Northwest Coast: Boas's Kwakiutl Tales, Chinook Texts, and both Tsimshian series, Frachtenberg's Coos Texts, Swanton's Haida Songs. California: Sapir's Yana Texts, Dixon's Maidu and Achomawi collections, Kroeber, Merriam, Goddard's Hupa Texts, Pomo bear doctors, the Yosemite books. Great Plains: McClintock's The Old North Trail, Walker's Oglala Sun Dance, Zitkala-Ša's Old Indian Legends, Linderman, the Jicarilla Apache texts. And a new South American region: Roth's great Animism and Folk-Lore of the Guiana Indians, Brett's Guiana legends, the Rites and Laws of the Yncas, the Inca drama Apu Ollantay, and Spence's Myths of Mexico and Peru.
  • Swedenborg arrives in force. The giants join the consolidated room: Arcana Coelestia complete (2.9 million words), Apocalypse Explained (1.4 million), Apocalypse Revealed, the Spiritual Diary, and The New Jerusalem and its Heavenly Doctrine — ~5.5 million words of the visionary's major corpus, paragraph numbers and footnotes intact throughout.
  • The Christian shelves deepen. Eddy's Science and Health, Butler's Lives of the Saints, The Little Flowers of St. Francis, Teresa of Avila's Interior Castle, The Cloud of Unknowing, the works of Dionysius the Areopagite, Abelard and Heloise (the letters and the Story of My Misfortunes), Emmerich's Dolorous Passion, Gunkel's Legends of Genesis, and the skeptical classics (Kersey Graves, Notovitch, Burr's Self-Contradictions) — plus, on the Judean shelf, the Book of Jasher, the Samaritan chronicles, and the Biblical Antiquities of Philo.
  • The occult library grows three rooms. Fort's Book of the Damned founds a Fortean Anomalies shelf; Ward's Oracles of Nostradamus a prophecy shelf; and a Secret Societies room gathers Robison's Proofs of a Conspiracy, Addison's Knights Templars, and Keightley's Secret Societies of the Middle Ages. Beside them: Holmes's Science of Mind, Waite's Hidden Church of the Holy Graal and Real History of the Rosicrucians, and Crowley's Vision and the Voice and Magick in Theory and Practice. On the folklore-theory shelf: Deane's Worship of the Serpent, Ingersoll's Dragons and Dragon Lore, Miles's Christmas in Ritual and Tradition, and Carus's History of the Devil and the Idea of Evil.
  • Asia, wide. The first three hundred Jātaka tales in two volumes, Ryder's Shakuntala and Twenty-Two Goblins, Waley's Noh Plays of Japan, Hearn's Japan books and Gordon Smith's Ancient Tales and Folk-lore of Japan, the Hundred Verses from Old Japan, Okakura's Ideals of the East, Lieh-tzu and Balfour's Taoist Texts and the Suzuki–Carus Canon of Reason and Virtue, Eitel's Feng Shui, Rustaveli's Man in the Panther's Skin, Armenian legends and poems, forty-four Turkish fairy tales, Curtin's Journey in Southern Siberia, Philippine folk tales, Tibetan folk tales, and the folk-lore of the Holy Land.
  • The utopias take a shelf in the Commons. Bellamy's Looking Backward, Butler's Erewhon, Wells's A Modern Utopia, Donnelly's Cæsar's Column, and Jack London's The Iron Heel — its famous mid-sentence ending kept exactly as London wrote it, with the fictional editor's closing note — join Morris and Kropotkin.
  • The Summa Theologica, whole. Thomas Aquinas's cathedral of theology arrives complete in the Fathers of the English Dominican Province translation — all five parts, ~2.6 million words, 611 Questions and over 2,500 Articles, each with its objections, sed contra, respondeo, and replies intact, every question verified against the edition's own contents. The record's own history is kept honest: Aquinas broke off dictating in the treatise on Penance in the winter of 1273–74 and died that March; Part III ends exactly there, and the Supplement that finishes the plan — compiled after his death by Reginald of Piperno from Aquinas's earlier writing — says so plainly on its own first page. A new Scholasticism room in the Christian shelf.
  • The Ante-Nicene Fathers, complete — a new Early Church Fathers wing. All nine volumes of the great 1885–1897 American edition, nearly five million words: the Apostolic Fathers and Justin Martyr, Irenaeus against the Gnostics, Clement of Alexandria, the whole of Tertullian, Origen's De Principiis and Against Celsus, Hippolytus, Cyprian's letters, Lactantius, the Clementine Recognitions and Homilies, the New Testament apocrypha and early liturgies, and the recently discovered texts — Gospel of Peter, Diatessaron, the complete Epistles of Clement. Every volume verified page-by-page against its own table of contents, every footnote preserved and renumbered, and the ancient tradition's own losses (Origen's missing commentary books, the lost books of Hippolytus's Refutation) disclosed as history rather than papered over. Beside them opens an Augustine shelf, beginning with the Confessions in Pusey's 1838 translation, all thirteen books.
  • The Vedas, completed. The library now holds all four Vedas in English. Joining the in-house Rigveda translations: Eggeling's five-volume Śatapatha-Brāhmaṇa — the great "Brahmana of the Hundred Paths," ~807,000 words of ritual exegesis with its original diagrams — plus Griffith's Hymns of the Atharvaveda and Hymns of the Samaveda, his Texts of the White Yajurveda, and Keith's Black Yajurveda (Taittirīya Saṃhitā). About 1.28 million words, with each digitization's own limits disclosed honestly in its colophon (one source omitted its footnotes "for technical reasons"; another's note-markers survive without their notes — nothing invented to fill either gap).
  • Swedenborg's core, consolidated. Four major works now stand in strong editions with Swedenborg's paragraph numbers and footnotes intact: Divine Love and Wisdom (Ager), The Four Doctrines (Potts), the 1892 Conjugial Love with all three of its original indexes, gathered beside the Ager Heaven and Hell already shelved. Two older duplicates that had silently dropped the paragraph numbers were retired. A fifth candidate, Divine Providence, was excluded: behind its metadata the only available text proved to be a still-copyrighted twentieth-century translation.
  • American myth, magic, and dissent. Five classics across four shelves: Skinner's Myths and Legends of Our Own Land (264 legends of American places), the Pennsylvania-German charm book Pow-Wows, or Long Lost Friend (Hohman, 1820), Nordhoff's The Communistic Societies of the United States (the 1875 survey of Amana, the Shakers, Oneida, Zoar, and their kin), Elizabeth Cady Stanton's The Woman's Bible, and Matilda Joslyn Gage's Woman, Church and State.
  • Atlantis and the alternative Earth. Two new Aquarian rooms preserve the history of an idea. Atlantis and Lost Worlds: Donnelly's Atlantis and Ragnarok, Scott-Elliot's Theosophical Atlantis and Lemuria, Bulwer-Lytton's Vril, the Mount Shasta legend's source A Dweller on Two Planets, Blavatsky's Stanzas of Dzyan, and the famous 1912 Schliemann newspaper hoax. Earth Mysteries: Rowbotham's flat-earth Zetetic Astronomy, Teed's inside-out Cellular Cosmogony, the rival hollow-earth books of Reed and Gardner, three pyramidology classics, Gould's Mythical Monsters, Cosmas Indicopleustes's sixth-century flat-earth Christian Topography, and James Hutton's founding papers of geological deep time, shelved beside the theories written to attack them. Twenty-two books, ~1.7 million words, each room introduced honestly: primary sources in the history of ideas, not competing science.
  • All the Child Ballads. Francis James Child's The English and Scottish Popular Ballads (1882–1898) — the collection that defined the ballad canon and gave the world the "Child numbers" still cited today — arrives complete in five volumes: all 305 ballads with their variant versions and manuscript sources, ~635,000 words. Barbara Allen, Tam Lin, Thomas Rymer, Sir Patrick Spens, the Twa Sisters, and Robin Hood ballad after ballad — every number present exactly once, with the digitization's own limits (Child's long prose headnotes did not survive into the etext) disclosed rather than hidden.
  • Latter-day Saint scripture opens its room. The complete 1830 first-edition text of the Book of Mormon, joined by the Pearl of Great Price — the Book of Moses, the Book of Abraham, Joseph Smith's Matthew revision and history, and the Articles of Faith. ~304,000 words beside the Latter-day Saint Theology shelf already standing.
  • Oahspe, entire. John Ballou Newbrough's 1882 Oahspe: A Kosmon Bible — the great channeled scripture of the typewriter age, which Newbrough said was written through his hands at dawn — opens a new-revelations room: 634,000 words of cosmic history, angelic hosts, the drowned continent Pan, and Newbrough's glossary of invented terms, complete in one volume.

  • The kings of Assyria speak in their own stone. A second Assyrian room opens: the complete Royal Inscriptions of the Neo-Assyrian Period — Tiglath-pileser III and Shalmaneser V, Sargon II, Sennacherib in two parts (including the annals where Hezekiah of Judah is shut up "like a bird in a cage"), Esarhaddon, and Ashurbanipal with the dynasty's last kings. Six volumes, over a thousand inscriptions, ~360,000 words of annals, building texts, and display inscriptions, reproduced verbatim from the open scholarly edition with every untranslated or unpublished text disclosed rather than hidden. With the State Archives complete alongside, the library now holds Assyria's empire in both voices: the court's daily letters and the kings' eternal stone.
  • The occult revival, shelved. Seven classics join the Aquarian and Hermetic shelves: Waite's Pictorial Key to the Tarot and his two-volume Hermetic Museum, Papus's Tarot of the Bohemians, Lilly's Introduction to Astrology (the 1852 Zadkiel edition), Ptolemy's Tetrabiblos, and A Wanderer in the Spirit Lands — ~612,000 words of the tradition's foundational library, complete and unabridged.
  • A Siberian shelf opens. The library's newest room holds the Jesup North Pacific Expedition's English folklore collections, rescued from century-old scans and painstakingly repaired: Bogoras's Chukchee Mythology (the introduction and all twenty-four tales) and his Tales of Yukaghir, Lamut, and Russianized Natives of Eastern Siberia (~80 tales, 119 footnotes restored to order). The peoples of the Kolyma and Anadyr — Chukchi, Yukaghir, Lamut — speak languages related to nothing else on these shelves; now their stories have a room of their own. Where the old scans were unrecoverable, the gaps are disclosed, never invented.
  • The Mahabharata, complete — all eighteen books. The library's largest single work ever: Kisari Mohan Ganguli's complete English translation (1883–1896), ~2.6 million words, arrives in a new Mahabharata room — from the Adi Parva's frame-tale and the dice game of the Sabha Parva, through the Bhagavad Gita inside the Bhishma Parva and the vast post-war teachings of the Santi and Anusasana Parvas, to the ascent to heaven in Book 18. Every book carries its own contents map; the source edition's own quirks (a skipped section number, a merged section) are preserved and disclosed, never smoothed over.
  • Assyria completed: the whole State Archives. The final volumes arrive — political and Babylonian correspondence of Esarhaddon and Assurbanipal, the Nimrud letters, grants and decrees, priests' letters, the late legal archive, and the royal rituals and cultic texts — making all twenty volumes of the State Archives of Assyria online available in one room, reproduced verbatim under CC BY-SA with every source gap disclosed in place.
  • Japan, strategy, and the uncanny. Lafcadio Hearn's In Ghostly Japan and Gleanings in Buddha-Fields, Nitobe's Bushido, Okakura's Book of Tea, Sun Tzu's Art of War (Giles), Burton's Vikram and the Vampire, and Elworthy's The Evil Eye join the shelves.
  • The Greek shelf fills its oldest gaps. Added the complete History of Herodotus (Macaulay's translation, both volumes, all nine books — the library previously held only excerpts), Aristotle's Poetics and Politics, the Poems of Sappho in Cox's 1925 rendering (his public-domain translations and notes; a separately copyrighted modern apparatus in the source was identified and excluded), and two works of Lucian of Samosata: A True Story (antiquity's science-fiction voyage, with Harmon's notes) and The Syrian Goddess (the great description of the cult at Hierapolis).
  • The State Archives of Assyria arrive in force. Five more volumes join the Assyrian Prophecies in the new State Archives of Assyria room — nearly a thousand documents of the Neo-Assyrian court in the open scholarly edition: The Correspondence of Sargon II, Parts I and II (565 letters — governors reporting on Urartu's movements, brick-masons finishing Dur-Šarruken, spies counting enemy cavalry), Neo-Assyrian Treaties and Loyalty Oaths (including Esarhaddon's great Succession Treaty in all its curse-laden majesty), Court Poetry and Literary Miscellanea (hymns, elegies, the Underworld Vision of an Assyrian prince), and Queries to the Sungod (354 extispicy questions put to Šamaš before wars, appointments, and royal illnesses). Every word reproduced verbatim under CC BY-SA from the State Archives of Assyria online; every line the source itself has not translated is disclosed in place. Six volumes down, sixteen to go.
  • Assyria, second wave: the machinery of empire. Four more SAA volumes arrive the same day: Legal Transactions of the Royal Court of Nineveh (350 contracts of sale, loan, and pledge), Imperial Administrative Records (palace and temple inventories), Astrological Reports to Assyrian Kings (567 celestial-omen reports, chaptered by the very scholars who wrote them), and Letters from Assyrian and Babylonian Scholars (the exorcists, physicians, and astrologers of the royal court writing to their kings). Ten volumes of the State Archives now stand in the room; every word verbatim from the open scholarly edition, every source gap disclosed in place.
  • Assyria, third wave. Five more: Imperial Administrative Records Part II (the Harran Census and the empire's provincial bookkeeping), Grants, Decrees and Gifts (royal land-grants with their fierce protective clauses), Letters from Priests (temple business, omens, and complaints to the kings), Legal Transactions Part II (the court's contracts to the empire's last years), and The Correspondence of Sargon II Part III (Babylonia and the eastern provinces). Fifteen volumes of the State Archives now stand in the room.
  • The Ainu Songs of the Gods — Chiri Yukie's Ainu Shin'yōshū, complete, translated from the Ainu. In 1922, a nineteen-year-old Ainu woman named Chiri Yukie wrote down thirteen kamui yukar — songs in which the gods of the Ainu world sing of themselves: the owl god scattering silver drops over a poor boy's house, the fox who misreads every omen on the shore, the sea god who gives a whale and watches the humans honor it, the marsh mussel crying for water in the sun. She romanized the Ainu from her family's own oral tradition, made the facing Japanese translation herself, and died the year before the book printed; her preface — "Oh, the perishing ones — that is our name now" — is among the most quietly devastating pages in Japanese letters. This new Good Works Translation renders the complete book — preface, all thirteen songs, and her cultural notes — from her romanized Ainu with her own Japanese as guide, and prints the full Ainu source text after the English. Published English translations exist in print and are honestly named in the colophon; this one is independent, and free.

  • Assyria opens: the Assyrian Prophecies. A new State Archives of Assyria room opens on the Assyrian shelf with The Assyrian Prophecies (SAA 9) — the eleven surviving tablets of Neo-Assyrian oracles delivered, mostly by women prophets speaking as Ištar of Arbela, to kings Esarhaddon and Assurbanipal: "What wind has risen against you, whose wing I have not broken? Your enemies will roll before your feet like ripe apples." Reproduced complete and verbatim from the State Archives of Assyria online edition under its open license; the seven lines the source itself has not translated are disclosed in place. The first of the archive's twenty-two volumes to arrive.
  • The Royal Inscriptions of Sumer, complete. Ten more collected editions arrive together, and with them the Royal Inscriptions room now holds the entire published corpus of the Electronic Text Corpus of Sumerian Royal Inscriptions — every transliterated royal inscription of ancient Sumer, 1,456 texts across twelve books, spanning eight centuries from the first kings of the Early Dynastic city-states to Hammurabi of Babylon. The new volumes: The Early Dynastic Inscriptions of Lagaš (Ur-Nanše to URU-KA-gina — the Stele of the Vultures dynasty and its border war with Umma, closing with URU-KA-gina's famous reforms); Other Early Dynastic Royal Inscriptions (the kings of Kish, Ur, Uruk, and Umma, including Lugal-zage-si whom Sargon overthrew); The Akkadian Empire and the Gutian Interlude (Sargon's conquest inscriptions, Naram-Suen, the rare Gutian ruler Erridu-pizir, and Utu-hegal's victory over Tirigan); Nammahni, Ur-Bau, and the Other Rulers of Lagaš II (completing the Lagaš II shelf beside the two Gudea volumes); then each king of the Third Dynasty of Ur in his own volume — Ur-Namma (with the transliterated Laws of Ur-Namma honestly marked where ETCSRI has not yet translated them), Šulgi, Amar-Suena, Šu-Suen (with the wall built against the Amorites), and Ibbi-Suen and the Remaining Ur III Inscriptions — closing with The Kings of Isin, Larsa, Uruk, and Babylon, which carries the Laws of Lipit-Eštar and ends the corpus with Hammurabi. Every word of translation is ETCSRI's own, reproduced verbatim under its open license with full attribution; the handful of texts the source project has not yet translated are disclosed in place, never filled in.
  • The Royal Inscriptions room gains Gudea's whole surviving corpus. Added Gudea — Statues and Shorter Inscriptions, the companion volume to the Cylinders: all 138 of Gudea of Lagash's other inscriptions in the ETCSRI scholarly edition — the twenty-five inscribed statues (A through AA) that the ruler installed in his temples to pray perpetually on his behalf, including Statue B with its construction account and its great curse against any ruler who would efface the statue's name; three fragments of further clay cylinders; and over a hundred short dedications on bricks, foundation cones, door sockets, mace heads, stone vessels, steles, and seals. Where the source edition has not yet translated a text — one statue, one line of a broken stele — the gap is disclosed in place rather than filled.

2026-08-06

  • The Charles Pseudepigrapha, complete — the whole two-volume 1913 edition now stands finished. Thirteen more works join the Book of Jubilees and the Letter of Aristeas in the Pseudepigrapha room: the Books of Adam and Eve, the Martyrdom of Isaiah, 1 Enoch (the volume's giant, its five traditional divisions — the Book of Watchers, the Parables, the Astronomical Book, the Dream-Visions, and the Epistle of Enoch), the Testaments of the Twelve Patriarchs, the Assumption of Moses (surviving only in a single damaged sixth-century Latin palimpsest), 2 Enoch, 3 Baruch, 2 Baruch with its appended Epistle of Baruch, the Psalms of Solomon (eighteen Hebrew psalms mourning Pompey's conquest of Jerusalem), 4 Maccabees, 4 Ezra's seven visions, the Story of Ahikar (its Syriac, Arabic, Armenian, and Ethiopic witnesses each kept as its own honest stream, since Charles's edition alternates rather than parallels them), and the Fragments of a Zadokite Work — the Cairo Genizah Damascus Document, cross-linked to the library's other modern translation of the same sectarian rule-book made from later-discovered Qumran fragments. Together with the Apocrypha room's fifteen works, R. H. Charles's complete two-volume Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha of the Old Testament in English (1913) — thirty constituent works from both volumes — is now entirely in the library.
  • The Carpatho-Rusyn room grows again. Twenty more works arrive from the carpatho-rusyn.org treasury's held-back round — Paul Robert Magocsi's Carpatho-Rusyn Chronology and brochure overview of the Carpatho-Rusyns, county and district coats of arms, the Bardejov Spa ethnopark, Carpatho-Rusyn folk instruments, Lemko icon painting, Lemko genealogy case studies, Lemko material culture, an essay comparing the Lemko-Rusyns to the Kurds, the martyrdom of Father Maksym Sandovych, further Osturna and Malý Lipník village notes, Fr. Athanasius Pekar's Our Slavic Heritage series, guidance on Rusyn family-history research, ten short pieces on Carpatho-Rusyn customs and traditions, six Lemko biographical sketches, an introduction to Lemko history and culture for Polish readers, the Lemko Museum at Zyndranowa, the story of the Talerhof internment camp, Robert Hospodar's account of Subcarpathian Ruthenian emigration to America, and Bogdan Horbal's history of the newspaper Pravda — plus five more works from lemko.org: a 2016 essay marking the 70th anniversary of the Lemko deportations, and four original-Ukrainian source texts — a 2006 village memoir of Labova, a 2019 ethnographic study of the Lemko wintertime spinning-bee gathering, a 2015 collection of traditional Lemko peasant recipes, and a 2023 historical-ethnographic monograph on the village of Selysko recovered from a source PDF that scans each physical two-page book spread as a single wide page.
  • The day's three headline campaigns close together. Combined with the Pali Canon's complete Sutta and Vinaya Piṭakas (published 2026-08-05), this promotion completes the whole Pali Canon, the whole two-volume Charles Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha corpus, and the Carpatho-Rusyn room's transformation from a small folklore corner into the largest Rusyn reading room on the open web — the fourth and final Open Web Harvest promotion sweep of the day.

2026-08-05

  • The Dīgha Nikāya, complete — added Dīgha Nikāya — The Long Discourses, Bhikkhu Sujato's modern English translation of all thirty-four suttas of the Pali Canon's collection of long discourses, from the Buddha's dialogues on ethics and wrong view to the extended narrative of his final journey and death in the Mahāparinibbāna Sutta. Dedicated to the public domain by the translator, prepared for SuttaCentral. The Canonical Discourses shelf previously held only century-old public-domain translations by T. W. Rhys Davids and others; this is the first complete modern translation of the whole Dīgha Nikāya to join them.
  • A new Royal Inscriptions shelf opens in Sumerian — added The Cylinders of Gudea — The Building of Ninĝirsu's Temple, the longest connected literary composition to survive from before the second millennium BCE: the ruler Gudea's account, in roughly 1,400 lines across two clay cylinders, of the dream that commanded him to rebuild the god Ninĝirsu's temple, the gathering of materials from Elam to the Amanus, and the temple's consecration. Drawn from the Electronic Text Corpus of Sumerian Royal Inscriptions (ETCSRI), an open-licensed born-digital edition; two untranslated stretches in the source are disclosed in place rather than filled in.
  • Nine works complete the Apostolic Fathers on the Early Christian shelf — added the First and Second Epistles of Clement, the seven Epistles of Ignatius, the Epistle of Polycarp to the Philippians and the Martyrdom of Polycarp, the Martyrdom of Ignatius, the Epistle of Barnabas, the Epistle to Diognetus, and the Fragments of Papias — the founding generation of post-apostolic Christian writing, previously represented on this shelf only by the Didache and the Shepherd of Hermas. First Clement is presented complete, including the concluding liturgical prayer recovered from a manuscript source the standard nineteenth-century edition lacked; Ignatius appears in the shorter, generally accepted recension, with the longer and spurious recensions disclosed but not included.
  • The Majjhima Nikāya, complete — added Majjhima Nikāya — The Middle Discourses, Bhikkhu Sujato's modern English translation of all one hundred fifty-two suttas of the Pali Canon's collection of middle-length discourses, including the Satipaṭṭhāna Sutta on the four foundations of mindfulness, the Ānāpānasati Sutta on mindfulness of breathing, and the parable of the poisoned arrow in the Cūḷamālukyaputta Sutta. Dedicated to the public domain by the translator, prepared for SuttaCentral, joining the Dīgha Nikāya on the Canonical Discourses shelf as the second of the four great Nikāyas to arrive complete in a modern translation.
  • A new Judean room: the Apocrypha of the 1913 Charles edition — added all fifteen works of R. H. Charles's The Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha of the Old Testament in English, Volume 1 (1913): 1 Esdras, 1–3 Maccabees, Tobit, Judith, Sirach (Ecclesiasticus), Wisdom of Solomon, Baruch, the Epistle of Jeremy, the Prayer of Manasses, the Prayer of Azariah and the Song of the Three Children, Susanna, Bel and the Dragon, and the Additions to Esther — each with its 1913 editor's introduction and full verse-numbered translation text. A new sibling shelf to Dead Sea Scrolls and General Texts on the Judean room.
  • The Pali Canon's Sutta and Vinaya Piṭakas arrive complete in modern English — the largest addition in the library's history. Bhikkhu Sujato's Saṃyutta Nikāya (all fifty-six saṃyuttas, 3,024 traditionally numbered suttas) and two-volume Aṅguttara Nikāya (all eleven nipātas) join the already-published Dīgha and Majjhima to complete all four great Nikāyas in a single modern translation. Alongside them, Sujato's eight finished Khuddaka Nikāya books arrive together — the Khuddakapāṭha, Dhammapada, Udāna, Itivuttaka, Suttanipāta, Theragāthā and Therīgāthā (with Jessica Walton), and Cariyapiṭaka — completing the whole Sutta Piṭaka on this shelf. And Bhikkhu Brahmali's complete Vinaya Piṭaka — the Suttavibhaṅga's rule-by-rule analysis, the Khandhaka's monastic procedure, the Parivāra, and the Pātimokkha recitation code — brings the entire monastic legal code into modern English beside it. Together these modern Sujato/Brahmali translations total roughly 2.4 million words, all dedicated to the public domain (CC0) by SuttaCentral. Only the Jātaka's unfinished fragments and the untranslated Abhidhamma remain outside modern English translation anywhere in the world.
  • A new Judean room opens: Pseudepigrapha (Charles) — added the Book of Jubilees, the pre-Mosaic history retold as the angel of the presence's dictation to Moses on Sinai, and The Letter of Aristeas, the founding legend of the Septuagint's translation at Alexandria for the library of Alexandria — both from R. H. Charles's 1913 edition, opening a new sibling room to Apocrypha (Charles) on the Judean shelf.
  • The Carpatho-Rusyn room more than triples — twenty-seven works join the shelf's existing eleven, rescued from aging Rusyn preservation websites and published with full attribution under permission recorded 2026-08-05: Paul Robert Magocsi's complete five-part survey of the Carpatho-Rusyns together with his studies of the Lemko Republic and of the Lemko Rusyns past and present; Richard D. Custer's book-length monograph on Lemko culture; six academic and journalistic pieces by Susyn Y. Mihalasky; Mykola Musynka's nine-part folk-customs series; Bogdan Horbal's collected bibliographic and reference essays; Jerry Jumba's essay on the Carpatho-Rusyn wedding; Elena Boudovskaya's four folk tales; the Byzantine Leaflet Series' four bishop-confessor biographies; the 1957 Ostapchuk, Makovskyi, and Sichynsky study of Hutsul folk art; Father Jan Polansky's unfinished pre-war manuscript Istoria Lemkovyny; two works by Maria Horbal on Lemko Christmas legends and the December holiday calendar; and two further rescues, a Lemko fable collection by Mykola Buriak and a poetry-and-memoir volume of Operation Vistula exile by Ihor Didovych.

2026-08-01

  • William James's Gifford Lectures, complete — added the whole of The Varieties of Religious Experience (1902), all twenty lectures with the mind-cure appendix, postscript, index, and James's 363 footnotes. The shelf previously held only his two lectures on mysticism.

  • Schopenhauer's principal work — added The World as Will and Idea in the Haldane and Kemp translation, complete in three volumes, including the criticism of the Kantian philosophy and the full supplements to all four books, together with the essay collection Studies in Pessimism.

  • Three more books by Thoreau — added A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers, The Maine Woods with its appendices of trees, plants, birds, and Penobscot words, and Cape Cod.

  • Two Theosophical expositions — added C. W. Leadbeater's The Astral Plane (1895) and Annie Besant's Esoteric Christianity, or The Lesser Mysteries (1901).

  • Chaucer and Langland enter the Aenglisc shelf — added the complete Middle English text of Geoffrey Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales in Walter W. Skeat's Oxford edition, with Skeat's full textual introduction, manuscript descriptions, and collation notes, and The Vision and Creed of Piers Ploughman in Thomas Wright's edition, with Wright's complete notes and glossary.

  • The eighteenth century opens in Aenglisc — a new period room beginning with Thomas Percy's Reliques of Ancient English Poetry in all three volumes, the 1765 collection that launched the English ballad revival, and Daniel Defoe's The History of the Devil (1726).

  • The Levellers join the Commons — a new room holding the three successive Agreements of the People (1647, 1648, and 1649), the Leveller movement's draft written constitutions, from the Putney proposal to the final version issued from the Tower of London. Beside them, the Commons gains Thomas More's Utopia in Gilbert Burnet's translation, Thomas Paine's Agrarian Justice, Peter Kropotkin's Mutual Aid and The Conquest of Bread, and William Morris's News from Nowhere.

  • The Spiritualism and Psychical Research room grows fourfold — added Arthur Conan Doyle's The New Revelation and The Vital Message, Sir Oliver Lodge's Raymond, or Life and Death with its complete sitting records, and F. W. H. Myers's Human Personality and Its Survival of Bodily Death in the 1906 one-volume edition.

  • The Izu no Me Shinyu, complete — added Izu no Me Shinyu — Divine Revelations of Izu no Me, the thirty-seven-section Ōmoto revelation sequence written through Deguchi Onisaburō in 1918–1919, independently translated from the Japanese of the Shinreikai serial publication. The bilingual edition includes the complete source text with all ruby readings, an introduction, and full notes on the text's double-layer readings and printed masks. To our knowledge, this is the first complete English translation of this scripture to be published.

2026-07-23

  • Kalyāṇavarman's charnel-ground meditation manual — added The Stages of Meditation on Ugliness, independently translated from Degé Tengyur D3921. The reader includes the complete Tibetan source, corrects two meaning-bearing comparison variants, and documents D4540 as a duplicate placement of the same work rather than a second publication.
  • A vajra aspiration attributed to Nāgārjuna — added A Vajra Aspirational Prayer, independently translated from Degé Tengyur D4384. The complete source and translation colophon preserve its Yoga Tantra imagery, devotion, song and dance, compassionate activity, and the names of Vanaratna and Sönam Gyatso Dé.

2026-07-19

  • 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.
  • Egyptian, Celtic, and Native American ritual records — added Margaret Murray's Ancient Egyptian Legends, W. F. Skene's Celtic Scotland Volume I, J. 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 Comedy—Inferno, 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 — 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.
  • Anthronomy / Polynesians in South America — the first transoceanic-contact dossier entered the casebook, arguing for pre-Columbian Polynesian and South American contact through human genetics, ancient Rapanui DNA, crops, contested chicken evidence, Pacific-coast source signals, and Polynesian voyaging.

2026-06-02

  • Aenglisc / The Complete Works of John Bunyan — George Offor's complete three-volume edition entered the library as a full public archival text: spiritual autobiography, doctrinal and practical treatises, controversy, prison writing, poetry, and the major allegories.
  • Aenglisc / John Donne Sermons and Holy Sonnets — Donne's great posthumous sermon collections were published with the Holy Sonnets from an OCR-corrected and lightly modernized donor text.
  • Aenglisc / Collected Works of Anne Bradstreet — the incomplete Bradstreet page was replaced with a 10,000+ line collected edition combining the complete 1678 printed book, authenticated Andover manuscript writings, source paratext, and memorial material.
  • Aenglisc / John Milton collection — the Milton room became a substantial public collection: poetry, epic, drama, translated non-English poems, theological prose, prose works, Latin state writings, and the 1834 edition material.
  • Aquarian / William Blake collection — the Blakean room expanded into a large public collection, including Songs of Innocence and of Experience, The Marriage of Heaven and Hell, The Book of Urizen, Milton, Jerusalem, Vala, Blake's letters, prophetic books, notebook pieces, and shorter fragments.
