The publishing standard

Not reprints.
Reading editions.

Source visible

Manuscript witness, language, edition basis and translation information stay close to the text.

Context included

Original editorial material explains what the work is, why it matters and where interpretation becomes disputed.

Numbered system

Every volume belongs to one recognisable series, so the archive can become a physical and digital library.

Publishing queue

The first shelf.

The programme grows slowly on purpose. A record becomes an edition only after the text, rights position and editorial context have been checked.
