Principles

The principles of the Logic Museum are

• To provide material as close to the original source as possible (critical editions, transcriptions, manuscripts).
• To widen the knowledge of medieval logic and philosophy by the use of
  • translations;
  • clear and accessible summarisation of the primary material.
• To classify the authority of a source by provenance or forms of editorial review.
• To make all material searchable by means of
  • markup ('anchors') and semantic tagging
  • standardised Latin spelling
• To encourage scholars to participate by
  • incentives such as ‘ownership’ (or shared ownership) of areas of the Museum
  • a congenial and user-friendly editing environment and platform.
