Bibliography

The reading library the encyclopaedia is written against: 529 works, consulted across the corpus as each article is written (the sources cited so far are a fraction of what is read). 190 have already informed a published article, so far; tap “cited in …” to see where, and the links fill in as more articles ship. The sources themselves are surveyed under Sources.
