Copyright and source editions.

Age alone does not clear a translation, introduction, illustration or later edition for worldwide use.

Effective 2026-09-02

Named evidence

Every approved title has an edition, source link, source hash and territory assessment in the private source ledger.

Clean transcription

The reading text excludes repository notices, modern introductions, editorial notes, scans, cover images and later layout. Full originals never enter public assets or the browser bundle.

Held titles

Any held title remains private. It cannot appear in the public catalogue, search, routes, sitemap or production output until its selected English edition passes the release test.

Club work

Chapter guides, source maps, takeaways, reflections, cover drawings, site copy and layout are original Club material unless a page states otherwise.

Report a concern

Send the title, edition, territory and affected page to ancientknowledgeclub@thesmios.com. We will preserve and review the source record before deciding the outcome.
