Compendium SSG

Scriptorium

Primary sources, structured.

The library, as a typed compendium

Scriptorium is the tool we built when we needed a reference work where every claim could trace itself back to a primary source without leaving the page. Concepts, techniques, and books declared as Rust data. Source attribution as a type constraint, not an afterthought.

What goes in is what the team curated, line by line, from the original texts. What comes out is queryable, composable, and durable. The same shape of work an academic department spends decades producing, made ergonomic for a single practitioner who cares about the texture.

Source First

Every entry carries its book and locator as a typed reference. No claim sits unsourced. The compiler enforces what good scholarship asks for.

Typed Knowledge

Concepts, techniques, traditions, lenses, modes, and domains declared as enums and structs. Knowledge that the type system can reason about, not free-text waiting to drift.

Sovereign

Rust data, owned outright. No platform between the scholar and the corpus. Output as a static site, addressable forever, no servers to maintain.

Held Close

Used internally for a private body of textual scholarship. The tool exists. What it holds is ours.
