Sources and method

Each card presents the original text, author, work and available references, including historical digital editions and identified quotation collections.

Selection and checks

The catalog grows continuously through scheduled AI-assisted work. New automatic entries are checked for completeness, independence, language, attribution, sources and translation. Uncertain texts remain on hold. For quotation collections we retain the collection reference; we do not necessarily locate the first publication of each saying. A sentence appearing in a book does not by itself establish that its author wrote it.

Translations

AI service translations are distinguished from translations published in cited editions. They are not equivalent to review by a human translator.
