Facsimiles of Editions and Manuscripts [See also Palaeography and Manuscripts ]
Texts (html or other formats) - Non-Facsimiles
Conventions:
- Boldface in a list of authors = large number of books found or at least a fairly exhaustive search for them, boldface in a list of sources = most significant ones in the list; ALL CAPS = most important authors.
- Within each author's page, first come "Editions" (original language texts), then "Translations," with complete editions or translations coming first in each instance, then editions or translations of individual works, grouped or ordered in a way that makes sense for the author. Lastly, "Studies" (books about the author) or "Tools" (e.g. concordances, lexica). Within a single category (e.g., complete works of X), reverse (descending) chronological order. The exception: for "Classics of Scholarship," larger categories are "Works" (in ascending chronological order), "Editions" (ancient texts edited by the scholar), and "Studies" (books about the scholar).
- Editions and translations should include the title of the work (either as generally known or specifically from the title page of the edition) and the name of the editor
- Links to Google Books are (becoming) keyed to the book id number.
