The house where the Enhanced Editions are made. Every work is published here first, chapter by chapter: the original, the translation, the house’s plain English and every study aid, in one reader. When a work is finished it is bound into the Codex.
Release I · Ethics
Aristotle, Nicomachean Ethics I.1
Maimonides, Eight Chapters I
Two books that open ethics with a craftsman. Aristotle aims at the good as an archer at a mark; Maimonides heals the soul as a physician heals the body. Published together, both bound in Venetian Red.
IThe archerTr. D. P. Chase, 1847
IIThe physicianHebrew of ibn Tibbon · tr. Gorfinkle, 1912
Every Enhanced Edition is set in the same four layers. The reader turns each one on or off, so you can read the text bare or with every aid around it.
The text in its own language where the house holds it: the Hebrew of ibn Tibbon, and the Greek to come.
עברית · ἙλληνικάA standing English translation, named and dated, with the translator's own notes kept beside it.
Chase · GorfinkleThe house's English, made passage by passage, so the argument reads at the speed of thought.
The houseSummaries, visual frameworks, plates, tables, audio and video, and questions with their answers.
Every study aidWorks are taken in the order of the Guide: ethics first, then logic, the sciences, letters and politics.
The text is fixed: a named translation, its source, and the original where we have it.
Each passage is numbered § and set in the house's plain English beside the translation.
Frameworks, diagrams, plates and questions are built around the passages, never in place of them.
The chapter is published here and in the reader, the first of each work free to read.
Finished works are bound into the Codex, sold one at a time or as collections, for life.
The rule of the house · the whole text, never a digest
