New tools for readers: search, a library-wide Scripture index, and e-reader editions

The library has grown new ways in — a search of every page, one Scripture index across all the works, EPUB editions, links to the Latin originals, and more.

The library has grown quickly of late — five works and some two million words — and it has now grown some new ways in.

Search. Every annotation, chapter, disputation, and note can be searched from one box. The search runs entirely in your browser: nothing you type leaves the page. Long chapters return results that jump straight to the heading within them, and results can be narrowed to a single work.

One Scripture index across the whole library. The index of Scripture passages now answers, for any verse, who in this library treats it: the annotations of Sixtus by their lemmata, the books of Pererius’s commentaries, and the chapters of Riccioli — six hundred and twenty-two passages in canonical order.

EPUB editions. Every work can now be downloaded for e-readers — phone, tablet, or Kindle — alongside the PDFs, with the cross-references between annotations working inside the book itself.

The original Latin. Each work’s page now links to the Latin original it was translated from — the very digitized copies, at Google Books.

Errors & questions. Careful readers are the library’s best editors. If you believe you have found an error, or have a question about any of the works, there is now a way to write in — from the foot of any page.

Printing. Any page of the library now prints clean: the text alone, black on white, for those who mark up on paper.
