Books
173 works in the search for ultimate reality: primary texts, translations and scholarship, each connected to the rest of the Library.
This catalogue begins with the books the Library and Metanoia cite. Each record gives the edition we use, its translators and editors, and the authors, traditions and concepts it belongs with.
Books will be readable and downloadable only where the rights allow, once each edition has been reviewed. Until then every record is a catalogue entry only. Where to begin: the reading lists.
Many of the older translations are in the public domain: books free to read online.
