Triptych AI Driven Studies in Catholic Faith, Worship, and Law

Third-Party Material

Triptych is a source-based collection. Its sources and PDFs quote, transcribe, or incorporate material that the project does not own. The project's CC BY 4.0 license applies only to project-created contributions and does not apply to the third-party or public-domain material described below.

Retained Reusable Source Artifacts

The reusable source library under src/sources/ may retain exact source bytes when an artifact manifest records an affirmative distribution basis. Those bytes keep their own status and are not offered under Triptych's CC BY 4.0 license merely because they are committed beside project-created metadata.

The retained 1871 English City of God texts are normalized derivatives of Project Gutenberg eBooks 45304 and 45305. Marcus Dods edited the edition and is the named translator; George Wilson translated Books IV, XVII, and XVIII, and J. J. Smith translated Books V--VIII. Douglas L. Alley III, Charlene Taylor, Joe C, and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team produced the Gutenberg transcriptions from Internet Archive and Canadian Libraries images. The retained derivatives remove the Gutenberg wrapper, license, trademark references, and marker lines; normalize line endings; and otherwise preserve the transcription between the markers. The transcriber notes disclose punctuation and spelling corrections, so these files are neither facsimiles nor diplomatic transcriptions. The 1871 text is recorded as public domain in the United States; users must determine its status in other jurisdictions.

The retained Patristic Text Archive transcriptions of Severian of Gabala's six homilies In cosmogoniam are governed by their recorded Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License, not Triptych's CC BY 4.0 license. Each source file states that licence in its own header, and the licence was read per file rather than inferred from the archive, whose README records that its files carry different Creative Commons licences. Sever J. Voicu transcribed the Greek from Migne's Patrologia Graeca 56, Paris 1862, and corrected and standardised its spelling, accents, and punctuation to modern editorial standards; Annette von Stockhausen converted the transcription to CTS-compliant PTA TEI and added the biblical references and the annotation of persons, groups, and places. The publisher is the Berlin-Brandenburgische Akademie der Wissenschaften. Reusers must retain that attribution, indicate changes, and satisfy ShareAlike where the licence requires it. The retained derivatives carry the Greek alone: the TEI header, the editors' annotation, the biblical pointers, the manuscript apparatus, and the source printing's page and line breaks are removed, and the retained files are neither facsimiles nor diplomatic transcriptions. Severian's fourth-century Greek and the modern transcription and encoding of it remain distinct rights objects.

The retained Latin Wikisource transcriptions of Migne's Patrologia Latina -- Ambrose's Hexameron (PL 14), Jerome's Liber quaestionum hebraicarum in Genesim (PL 23), Bede's In principium Genesis (PL 91), Alcuin's Interrogationes et responsiones in Genesim (PL 100), Angelomus of Luxeuil's and Remigius of Auxerre's Commentarii in Genesim (PL 115 and PL 131), and Augustine's De Genesi ad litteram (PL 34) -- reproduce printings of 1841 to 1853 that are public domain in the United States. The wiki source of those pages is licensed CC BY-SA 4.0, a condition on the contributors' markup rather than on Migne's text beneath it; the exact wiki bytes are hashed and recorded but not retained, and the retained derivatives carry the printed Latin alone, with every template, link, heading, category, footnote, and column marker removed, together with the University of Zurich Corpus Corporum encoding note that identifies the encoder rather than the text. Those derivatives are transcriptions of a web witness of the printing and not collations against the printed column.

The retained University of Leipzig/OpenGreekAndLatin CSEL 40.1--40.2 TEI files are governed by their recorded Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License, not Triptych's CC BY 4.0 license. The unmodified XML headers identify University of Leipzig (2014), Emanuel Hoffmann's 1899--1900 edition, Jouve for OCR, correction, and encoding, Gregory Crane as principal, and Greta Franzini, Simona Stoyanova, Bruce Robertson, and Uvius Fonticola in the listed project roles. Reusers must retain attribution, indicate changes, and satisfy ShareAlike where the license requires it. The separately manifested figure referenced by the first XML file reproduces a specimen from the 1899 volume and is recorded as public domain in the United States. The underlying historical edition, digital encoding, and support image remain distinct rights objects.

The retained Internet Archive OCR and automated page-number map for The Ante-Nicene Fathers, volume 1, reproduce a Buffalo 1887 publication carrying an 1885 copyright notice. The volume and notice are public domain in the United States, and Internet Archive records the item as not in copyright in that region. The exact uncorrected OCR and generated pagination data are retained as locating and research derivatives; they are not facsimiles, corrected transcriptions, or independent textual witnesses. The Roberts--Rambaut translation and A. Cleveland Coxe's editorial prefaces and bracketed notes retain their public-domain status and are not offered under Triptych's CC BY 4.0 license. OCR errors must not be attributed to the historical translators, and Coxe's editorial matter must not be attributed to Irenaeus.

The retained Luke and Revelation running-text files from Faithlife's SBLGNT v1.2 repository reproduce The Greek New Testament: SBL Edition, edited by Michael W. Holmes, copyright 2010 Society of Biblical Literature and Logos Bible Software. They are distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License, not Triptych's CC BY 4.0 license. The retained files are unchanged: each was extracted byte for byte from the pinned upstream archive, without normalization or editorial modification. Their artifact records identify the exact upstream commit, source path, and hash.

The retained lemma-field projection from MorphGNT: SBLGNT Edition, by James Tauber and the MorphGNT contributors, is distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License. It is a modified, project-created projection of the pinned MorphGNT 6.12 dataset: Triptych read the 27 canonical-order *-morphgnt.txt files, emitted the final whitespace-delimited lemma field from every nonblank token row in numeric book order, and placed one lemma on each line. The projection omits the separately licensed SBLGNT surface-text columns. Reusers must retain the MorphGNT attribution, this change notice, the license link, and ShareAlike treatment where the license requires them.

The September 2026 proper-guide acquisitions also retain unchanged Wikisource and Wikimedia delivery files under their recorded Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License: the Latin Wikisource contributors' Ambrose, Expositio Evangelii secundum Lucam, book V, whose raw text retains the Corpus Corporum source/attribution templates; and the English Wikisource and Wikimedia Commons contributors' Tressell chapter, scan-index and file-description pages. The latter HTML files retain their license notices and contributor/history links. Their source manifests record the exact page URLs, delivery hashes and bounded extents. These are retained deliveries, with no project alterations, and are not offered under Triptych's CC BY 4.0 license. Reusers must retain attribution and notices and satisfy ShareAlike where required. The historical texts and scan images remain separately identified rights objects.

The complete Gutenberg deliveries of Dickens's The Seven Poor Travellers, Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest and Tressell's The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists retain their supplied producer credits, wrappers and licenses. Those notices are part of the retained files; they are not replaced by Triptych's project license.

The complete Latin Wikisource EPUB of Gregory the Great's Homiliarum in Evangelia, acquired on 17 September 2026, and its separately manifested text extraction are retained under the export's explicit Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License. The export credits Gregorius Magnus and contributor Mizardellorsa; the work and linked homily pages provide contributor histories. The EPUB is unchanged. The extraction keeps the index, preface and forty homilies in spine order, while omitting generated navigation, title, style, logo and About pages. Attribution and licensing remain in the artifact record and complete parent EPUB. Reusers must preserve those notices, identify changes and meet ShareAlike where required. The ancient Latin, the modern transcription and encoding, and the separately retained historical facsimile excerpts remain distinct rights objects.

The other September 2026 acquisitions include complete CCEL deliveries of historical Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers volumes, historical Latin Aquinas and Jerome witnesses, and a Gutenberg English Summa witness. Their artifact records state the particular U.S. public-domain basis, exact digital delivery, derivation, retained extent, and editorial or OCR limitations. A digital delivery date does not identify an unverified historical printing. OCR is a finding aid; a transcription is not a facsimile. Modern website wrappers and current Ordo pages with unresolved redistribution rights are represented by metadata, not retained public payloads. None of these historical texts is offered under Triptych's CC BY 4.0 license.

Liturgical and Scriptural Texts

Scripture, Missal formularies, Orders of Mass, rubrics, chants, and texts from other liturgical books retain the copyright, public-domain status, license, or other legal status of their respective sources and editions.

In particular:

The governing policy is guidance/liturgical-text-publication-policy.md; the factual rights records are src/sources/inventories/icel-web-permission-rights-v1.toml and src/sources/inventories/liturgical-english-rights-v1.toml. The controlling current external sources are ICEL's Publication Policies for the grant and its copyright page for the acknowledgement form. A display of excerpts from the 2010 translation must carry:

Excerpts from the English translation of The Roman Missal © 2010, International Commission on English in the Liturgy Corporation. All rights reserved.

Preserve that wording with any covered excerpt; do not substitute the entire-work form, (c) for the copyright symbol, or an acknowledgement copied from an unofficial intermediary. The acknowledgement identifies the owner and satisfies a condition when the permission otherwise applies; it is not itself evidence that a payload is exact, approved, promulgated, or cleared for a particular surface. USCCB adaptations and proper texts, CCD/Lectionary for Mass text, NAB/NABRE text, and the Abbey Psalms and Canticles are separately controlled and are not covered by ICEL's permission.

Quarantine of the current public bundle does not erase earlier Git objects. Repository history contains commits that tracked ICEL text payloads, Roman 1962 Latin proper bodies, and a superseded Lasance OCR artifact containing the excluded lettered insert at printed pages 1302a--1302d. Whether a public-history rewrite, repository replacement, access change, or another remedial step is required is a release-policy and counsel decision for the maintainer; this notice neither clears those historical copies nor claims that current-tree removal makes them undistributed; and - the English recorded in src/sources/inventories/postconciliar-proper-translations-v1.toml includes non-ICEL routes with different rights positions, and the file marks every translation with which basis and witness apply.

One route is project-created: this project's own work, offered under CC BY 4.0 with the project's authorship identified at the point of use. They translate prayers of the ancient Roman sacramentaries — the Veronense, the Old Gelasian, the Hadrianum — which are out of copyright everywhere, and each entry names its ancient witness and states every difference between that witness and the Missal's own text.

Other rows are public-domain and are not this project's work. Most carry, unaltered, the English of The Roman Missal translated into the English language for the use of the laity, first revised edition (Philadelphia: Eugene Cummiskey, 1861), made for the antecedent of the prayer — the older oration whose Latin this calendar's own recorded Latin reproduces. Each entry names that antecedent and enumerates every difference between the two Latin texts. The sequences use Edward Caswall's Lyra Catholica (London, 1849) and name that witness separately. These translations are in the public domain in the United States by publication date; Triptych claims no exclusive right in their wording and does not offer them under CC BY 4.0.

Nothing on either non-ICEL route is an approved liturgical translation or is derived from ICEL's, and nothing in the file may be used for recitation; and - the English recorded in src/sources/inventories/roman-1962-proper-translations-v1.toml comes from several public-domain historical witnesses. Sixty-one proper entries use The Roman Missal translated into the English language for the use of the laity, first revised edition (Philadelphia: Eugene Cummiskey, 1861), including three page-collated Palm Sunday procession antiphons and the St Augustine Collect at printed p. 652, Internet Archive leaf n660; six sequence entries use Edward Caswall's Lyra Catholica (London, 1849), with the Hymns Ancient and Modern printing attributed to William Josiah Irons (London, complete edition, catalogued 1890) retained as an alternative for one sequence; and thirty-two oration entries use Francis Xavier Lasance and Francis Augustine Walsh's The New Roman Missal, 1945 revised edition, in a printing of about 1955--56. Every Lasance entry is bound to an exact ordinary-numbered page-image passage. The only Common-of-a-Supreme-Pontiff row served from that witness is the Collect on ordinary printed p. 1302; none of the five candidate rows on inserted pp. 1302a--1302d is served.

The Cummiskey book and its tracked public-domain transcription are registered under src/sources/works/eugene-cummiskey/roman-missal-english-laity/. Its unvendored Internet Archive text layer is a Google-produced derivative with separate unresolved artifact rights. The Lasance work is public domain in the United States by failure to renew registrations A 110108 and A 192159; that conclusion is jurisdiction-specific and does not cover the later lettered inserts at printed pages 1298a--1298n or 1302a--1302d. The tracked OCR derivative mechanically excludes both ranges. The exact source artifact and prior Git objects are not offered under CC BY 4.0 merely because the retained historical wording has a recorded U.S. public-domain basis.

These are historical lay-book and hymn translations, not approved liturgical translations. Triptych claims no exclusive right in their wording, does not offer the wording under CC BY 4.0, and does not authorize any of it for recitation. The same 1861 Cummiskey book is also quoted, on the same public-domain basis, by antecedent entries in the postconciliar file described above; the rights position is identical and only the relation to the prayer differs.

Their inclusion as evidence or text for study is not a representation that they may be extracted and redistributed independently. Their redistribution status must be established from the governing source and jurisdiction.

Ecclesiastical, Canonical, and Other Official Texts

Magisterial documents, canons, decrees, judgments, diocesan acts, official translations, and other ecclesiastical or civil texts remain subject to their own status. An official character, citation, or public web location does not by itself place a text under the Triptych license.

Received Prayers, Hymns, and Translations

Received prayers, antiphons, chants, collects, hymns, and translations not created by this project are not relicensed. Some historical texts and translations may be public domain in some jurisdictions; where that is so, Triptych claims no exclusive right in the underlying wording. Project-created prayers and translations are CC BY 4.0 only when their project authorship is identified in the adjacent text or source record.

The repository's source records identify, among other examples, traditional English prayer forms and Edward Caswall's 1849 hymn translations as public domain. Users remain responsible for confirming the status applicable to their jurisdiction and intended use.

Quotations and Source Records

Quotations and closely transcribed material from books, articles, websites, surveys, lyrics, prayer books, and other sources remain the property of their respective rights holders where protected. A surrounding source audit, annotation, translation, or synthesis may be project-created without changing the status of the quoted wording.

Received Project Manuscripts

The shared teaching, exercise, reference, and assessment sources under src/gpt/curriculums/ecclesiastical-latin/ derive from a separately supplied Telos project. That donor tree contained no local license. Authorization to integrate and edit the manuscript is not recorded as independent evidence of authorship, ownership, or a general public-distribution license. The prior 52 installed working snapshots received an explicit exact-snapshot distribution exception on 20 July 2026 under the repository's existing user-attested authority. Later exact-current-snapshot exceptions bound corrected files from that same superseded edition. Those bindings remain historical facts about the prior bytes. The redesigned 37-PDF installed edition received a separate exact-current-snapshot distribution exception on 23 July 2026. No exception establishes donor authorship or ownership, supplies a general public-distribution license, or authorizes extracted donor wording outside the exact files it binds. Their course-wide provenance and rights boundary are recorded in the adjacent research/edition-manifest.md, research/scope.md, and research/source-audit.md. No donor manuscript wording is offered under CC BY 4.0 unless a later work-specific rights record establishes that basis.

Angelology primary witnesses (GPT edition, 29 September 2026)

The original study at src/gpt/theology/angelology/ uses historical wording from Scripture, Aquinas, Dionysius, the Fathers, and Bonaventure. The exact editions and artifacts, their acquisition and hashes, and the passages used are identified by its research/source-bindings.toml and source-audit.md. The project license covers the original exposition and apparatus; it does not relicense these sources.

Retained historical witnesses include the Douay–Rheims/Challoner Bible; the English Dominican translation of Aquinas (1920); John Parker's Dionysius, volume II (1899); Migne's Patrologia Graeca volume 3; the nineteenth-century Dods, Haddan, Jackson, Salmond, Patrick, Browne–Swallow, and Prevost–Riddle translations; and the Quaracchi Bonaventure (1885). Their historical wording is public domain in the United States. The corresponding historical Latin texts of Aquinas, the councils, and Bonaventure are also public domain. Exact electronic artifacts retain their separate recorded rights: a modern website's wrapper, apparatus, or editorial contribution is not treated as public domain merely because it encloses an ancient text. Where a wrapper could not be redistributed on the recorded basis, only the identified historical text was retained in a derivative with its provenance recorded.

The Gregory the Great Wikisource witness retains the attribution and license recorded by its existing source edition. Modern Holy See English documents, Benedict XVI's audience, the Byzantine Catholic calendar witness, and the Cambridge publisher's public chapter summary are represented by citation and bounded original paraphrase; their protected deliveries are metadata-only source records. The Cambridge chapter itself was not acquired or read. Historical calendar facts do not relicense contemporary liturgical texts. No contemporary prayer translation is reproduced in the study.

Fonts and External Software

Published PDFs embed Latin Modern font programs. The altar-server guides and the reading-plan tracks embed Libertinus Serif, Sans, and Mono font programs as used; the tracks were reset in Libertinus on 1 August 2026, having been set in Latin Modern before. Libertinus is supplied by the Libertinus Project and is not relicensed under CC BY 4.0. The installed font metadata identifies SIL Open Font License 1.1; the libertinus TeX support files are supplied separately under the LaTeX Project Public License. The three-document proper studies also use URW Palladio L from the URW Base 35 distribution. Its Type 1 font programs identify copyright 1999 by URW++ Design & Development and the GNU General Public License, with an explicit exception permitting embedding in PostScript or PDF documents regardless of the document's license. These font programs likewise retain their own license rather than CC BY 4.0. The PDFs embed subsetted font programs. TeX packages and other build dependencies are external software governed by their own licenses; they are not vendored merely because the build invokes them.

Reuse and Contributions

Before reusing an excluded passage, consult its citation, the nearby research record, and the original source. Inclusion, citation, or online availability is not a promise of permission for independent reuse.

Contributors must identify third-party material and record its known author, source, attribution, license, permission, public-domain basis, or applicable legal exception. Do not submit material that Triptych is not permitted to distribute.
