The purpose of making such provisional texts available, with all their errors and gaps, is to encourage others to correct and develop what we have done for the common profit. It is our hope that the collaborative work of other scholars will over time convert these first sketches into a solid body of secure learning. Accordingly, we ask any who use the site to inform us of our errors and supply our deficiencies. We have already received a great deal of assistance from others, whose names are listed in the introduction to each text, and undertake to identify the contribution of all our further correspondents in any later revision of the site. The contributors claim no copyright (though they would be almost as gratified by any acknowledgement of their work as they would be by just criticism), and they do not intend to pre-empt a more systematic publication by others. On the contrary, they hope it may provoke one. The website is maintained by Bruce Brasington (bbrasington@mail.wtamu.edu), who is jointly responsible for the Panormia section. The Tripartita texts and annotated Decretum are principally the responsibility of MB (mb110@cam.ac.uk), with much help from Bruce and others listed there; the handlist of manuscripts of the letters is the work of Christof Rolker.
