Pirkei Avot

Kulp’s reuse license is identified as CC BY 3.0. The two 108-entry exports are preserved. Romm 5:19 contains a suspect reading that still needs the named 1913 print; a later control scan cannot stand in for that edition. Chapter 6 also uses different numbering.

All 299 original/English unit pairs preserve ordered source segment keys. Published empty headings and structural values remain blank; they are not generated or completed.

English contributions use CC0; original Pali is public domain. The publisher's accompanying request regarding AI use is retained with the source metadata. This application provides no AI interpretation or training feature.

Preserved legacy editions

The five original imported versions remain available under their original identifiers so existing notes and links continue to resolve. Their limitations are disclosed in their edition notes. Preservation does not certify an unidentified source printing or a complete word-by-word collation.

Not yet admitted

Douay–Rheims American Edition of 1899. The publisher exports agree on apparent transcription errors, including “The ford” in Psalm 102:8 and “bath” in Sirach 18:11. A separate transcription reads “The Lord” in Psalm 102:8. The candidate is withheld pending collation against the named printing. Publisher record · Comparison text

ASV 1901 and Telang 1882 await scan-based transcription review. Pickthall’s unidentified source printing has not been relabeled as verified 1930. The Wang Bi digital candidate carries a source-quality flag and is excluded from reading and search. The collection-review cards above show which additional works are available and which still have unresolved checks.

Correspondence is evidence, not an assumption

Shared SuttaCentral segment keys support declared segment-level links. Hebrew, Greek, JPS and legacy English numbering differ in places. Other parallel views remain independent and explain their limits. Translator notes are kept separate from scripture.

Traceable review

Original artifacts, hashes, scopes, transformation logs and complete source manifests accompany the repository. Editorial guides identify primary passages and distinguish their own questions from the texts. They do not claim external scholarly review.
