Source Library

A digitised collection of all manner of cool early-modern printed works and manuscripts from the Bibliotheca philosophica hermetica. The whole thing is done to the nines, with facing-page translations into English for some texts, and all the bells and whistles.

They say:

“SourceLibrary.org translates the world’s wisdom traditions into modern languages. This is an open-source initiative of the Embassy of the Free Mind in Amsterdam, which hosts one of the world’s largest collections of Renaissance esoteric literature, the Biblioteca Philosophica Hermetica (UNESCO Memory of the World). Our initial focus is the Latin Renaissance; for, while translations of Greek wisdom into Latin helped spark the European Renaissance, 95% of the Renaissance itself remains untranslated. In addition to Latin, we host translations of original works in Greek, Arabic, Armenian, Sanskrit, Chinese and more. We additionally maintain a research blog at https://www.secondrenaissance.ai/.”
