Volumes and ornaments
Book covers, line symbols, borders, and typographic ornaments are original code-based designs for this library. They are modern illustrations, not historical manuscript facsimiles.
Actual project previews
Published chapter previews are browser captures of the corresponding independent websites, produced for this collection. Their artwork, text, design, and underlying rights remain with their respective creators and sources. Screenshot previews are not released as public-domain artwork.
Typography
Cormorant Garamond, Source Serif 4, and Inter are locally served through Fontsource packages under the SIL Open Font License. Copies of the applicable licenses are included with the site’s source and public font-license files.
Scripture and editorial content
This central library uses Scripture references and original editorial introductions. It does not reproduce substantial Bible translation text. The independent studies document their own textual editions, translations, historical sources, and asset licenses.
Design research
The information architecture was informed by the British Library’s manuscript discovery, The Met’s collection navigation, Getty’s manuscript presentation, and Digital Thoreau’s scholarly editions. The library applies its own visual identity, volume designs, and layouts.
