Sources for the Concordance

 

About the Sources

Sources are listed by translator. This is unusual, but translations are being compared here, not source texts. At some point, I might provide a bibliography in standard order, but for now such an apparatus seems beside the point. Links are to current publishers when available, though I sometimes have (and list) an older edition and/or an edition from a different publisher.
