Landing page captured for the 2026-09-10 issue.

Field notes

The library groups material into ten benches, including Plotinian, Athenian, Arabic, Medieval Latin, Renaissance, and English-reception sections. Its proposed reading interface puts a passage at the centre while placing sources, later uses, translations, and disagreements around it; the first named thread runs from Proclus through the Book of the Pure Good and Liber de causis to Albert and Aquinas. Source material is described as transcribed from public-domain editions, with modern critical editions used for numbering.
