About this catalogue

Bibliographic records combine the supplied scans, archival catalogues and online source checks. Jev reviewed the document identities, subjects, formats and thematic connections from title pages, contents, metadata and selected passages. This is a catalogue inspection, not a claim that every page has received a semantic review.

The 182 supplied files are represented here with duplicate copies grouped together. One protected copy is represented by the readable Senate edition already in the library. Scans preserve their historical language and claims. Machine text may contain OCR errors.
