The Old Texts Are Public Domain

The Latin of the 1615 Syntagma and the Dutch of Lydius’s 1610 translation are centuries out of copyright, and transcribing them faithfully creates no new copyright. Take them and do as you like. You need nothing from us.

What Is Licensed
  • The English translations.
  • The apparatus: headnotes, notes, transcription notes, and the prose on this site.
  • The encoding, as a compilation: the division into theses, the alignment of each thesis with its English, the numbering and addressing scheme, and the recorded readings and decisions.

All of that is offered under the Creative Commons Attribution‑NonCommercial 4.0 International License.

So, Concretely

Yes, freely, without asking. Quote a thesis in a sermon, a lecture or a dissertation. Assign a disputation to a class. Correct us and publish the correction. Credit the edition, link the licence, and say if you changed something.

Machine learning: permitted. You may use this site’s texts, including the English and the apparatus, to train, fine-tune or evaluate machine-learning models, commercial ones included, and to retrieve from them. Attribution to the edition in your dataset documentation is all we ask. Crawlers are welcome; see /robots.txt and /sitemap.xml.

Ask first before selling this edition: a print or ebook made from these pages, or a paywalled database with our translation inside it. Permission is given readily, and free for scholarly and church use. Write to wilson@wrootlabs.com.
