Augustinus Vox Study

About Study

Version 2.40.1

A bilingual workspace for reading, comparing, listening to, and citing Augustine, Sacred Scripture, and related source texts.

Methods & credits How Study was made Sources, A.I. assistance, audio, and verification

Study is built from traceable editions, not uncited generated text. Its browser app and publishing pipeline are intentionally simple enough to inspect and reproduce.

Open web foundation

The reader is dependency-free HTML, CSS, and vanilla JavaScript hosted by WordPress. PowerShell prepares and publishes corpus files, Node.js runs syntax and regression checks, and Python drives audio and lyric alignment.

Texts and editions

The ancient works and historical editions are public domain. Some modern digital transcriptions have separate licenses or attribution terms, so every edition’s Info panel links to its exact human-readable source and reuse notice.

A.I. assistance

Augustinus Vox directs the project and makes its editorial and release decisions. OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Codex assisted with research, source comparison, AVSV translation drafts and revision, data preparation, software development, validation, and testing. AVSV editions are labeled A.I. assisted; for critical work, compare them with the cited source text.

Audio and timing

Read-along narration uses Qwen3-TTS 1.7B. Aiden voices Augustine and the current single-narrator editions; On the Happy Life adds approved distinct voices for Monica, Licentius, Trygetius, Navigius, and Adeodatus. Stable-ts aligned the text for the current releases, Faster-Whisper provides an independent transcription check, and FFmpeg packages the chapter audio. Stable-ts is now archived; its exact historical tool remains linked. Music was created with Suno, and synchronized lyric timing is generated locally from the published Augustinus Vox lyrics and exact MP3 files.

Recreate the approach

  1. Choose a legal source. Record its human-readable edition page, provider, and exact reuse terms.
  2. Pin the evidence. Save the source revision and a SHA-256 checksum before transforming it.
  3. Prepare the readers. Convert the source to plain text or JSON, preserve its structure, and label any A.I.-assisted translation.
  4. Test before publishing. Check structure, links, text and audio hashes, playback timing, responsive layout, and release-version consistency.

Underlying historical works and editions are public domain. Digital transcriptions are credited under their provider terms: CC BY-SA 4.0 for Perseus, OpenGreekAndLatin, and Latin, Italian, or English Wikisource where applicable; BKV reuse terms for Soliloquies; and eBible public-domain notices for Scripture. See each edition’s Source and License links for details.

Release notes

Release history

Verified public releases from August 22–30, 2026. Brief superseded public builds are included; version numbers used only in local staging are intentionally omitted.

  1. Latest Version 2.40.1

    Trace more Study texts to their editions and surviving witnesses

    Expands Text provenance with verified upstream stages and links across Augustine, Ambrose, all nine Perseus families, and all three Bible editions. Augustine's early letters now trace through their pinned OpenGreekAndLatin transcription to Goldbacher's CSEL 34.1; On True Religion and the Enchiridion identify the Augustinus.it and Migne editions behind their pinned Wikisource texts; Ambrose's readers link the exact PL volumes and verified Maurist tomes; the Perseus families identify both their immutable digital texts and consulted print editions; and WEB-C, WEB-P, and the Clementine Vulgate receive compact translation or edition lineages. A quiet Witnesses & comparison editions section adds only verified supporting evidence, including selected medieval manuscripts for the Confessions, On Music, On Free Choice of the Will, On True Religion, On Genesis Against the Manichaeans, several Ambrose works, and Lucis largitor, without presenting any witness as a direct exemplar or autograph. Provenance still loads collapsed, and the existing Francis, Plotinus, and Against the Academics bespoke chains remain intact. No translation, source text, Bible, music, lyrics, or audiobook content changed.

  2. Version 2.40.0

    Read six complete Augustine works from Rome to early Africa

    Adds six complete Augustine works from the bridge between Rome and the return to Africa as twelve reciprocal Latin and AVSV readers: On the Greatness of the Soul, On the Teacher, all three books of On Free Choice of the Will, the distinct but linked On the Morals of the Catholic Church and On the Morals of the Manichaeans, and both books of On Genesis Against the Manichaeans. Together they preserve 220 chapters and 534 numbered sections in each language, including exact Augustine–Evodius and Augustine–Adeodatus dialogue order. Five revision-, byte-, and checksum-pinned Latin Wikisource / Corpus Corporum packages are archived unchanged; the served Latin applies 34 Migne-scan-verified transcription corrections while a ledger preserves 16 difficult Migne readings without silently importing later variants. Provenance traces the working text through the digital transcription, Migne PL 32 or PL 34, and the Maurist 1679 recension without inventing manuscript claims. English Scripture locators use modern Arabic numbers and identify both LXX/Vulgate and modern coordinates when they differ. The chronology explicitly separates the Roman beginning of Free Choice Book 1 from Books 2–3, completed later in Africa after Augustine became a priest. Study now contains 107 records in 52 reciprocal non-Scripture pairs plus three Bible editions; no existing music, lyrics, audiobook, Bible, or corpus asset was regenerated.

  3. Version 2.39.4

    Load Text provenance collapsed

    Text provenance now loads collapsed for normal works, the English and Latin readers for Against the Academics, and Bibles, and remains expandable. No provenance content, links, licensing, or text changed.

  4. Version 2.39.3

    Trace Against the Academics more deeply and tighten mobile lyrics

    Expands the restrained provenance chain for Against the Academics through Migne PL 32 (1841; reissued 1845), the Maurist Benedictine edition of 1679 that Migne directly reproduced, and one grouped stage for the two ninth-century witnesses demonstrably collated by the Maurists, with quiet links to Paris BnF lat. 13369 and Reims MS 382 and no autograph claim. This release also tightens the mobile synced-lyrics header: the redundant mobile label is removed, spacing is reduced, and Resume aligns beneath the one-line song title while Info remains fixed at the right. The header is 61 pixels tall normally and 105 pixels with Resume visible, returning more room to lyrics in Light, Dark, and Retro modes. Desktop layout, title marquee behavior, playback, line timing, and lyric text are unchanged.

  5. Version 2.39.2

    Keep complete song titles moving on one steady line

    Keeps the synced-lyrics title and the now-playing title on one line beside their Info controls. A complete long title now scrolls horizontally only when it exceeds the available space, while short titles remain still and repeated playback updates do not restart the motion. On mobile, the title and Info control remain together on the first row and Resume remains on its dedicated second row; reduced-motion readers receive a stationary one-line title. Album-row behavior, lyric scrolling, playback, line timing, and lyric text are unchanged.

  6. Version 2.39.1

    Read Plotinus's complete First Ennead with clearer mobile lyrics

    Adds all nine treatises of Plotinus's First Ennead as reciprocal Ancient Greek and historical English readers. The Greek preserves all 80 chapters of Richard Volkmann's 1883 edition from a commit- and checksum-pinned OpenGreekAndLatin / First1KGreek transcription; the English preserves Stephen MacKenna's 77 native chapters from his public-domain 1917 first edition and its revision-pinned English Wikisource transcription. Linked reading uses an explicit Treatise I.8 crosswalk without silently renumbering MacKenna, citations retain each edition's native chapter numbers, the unnumbered print unit in I.9 receives only an internal Study locator, and Greek punctuation participates correctly in sentence selection. Provenance distinguishes Plotinus's treatises, Porphyry's later Ennead arrangement, Volkmann's edition, each digital transcription, and MacKenna's historical translation; it identifies the work as important Neoplatonic context without claiming that it was the exact unidentified libri Platonicorum read by Augustine. Study now contains 95 records in 46 reciprocal non-Scripture pairs plus three Bible editions. On mobile, the synced-lyrics header now keeps the complete wrapped song title and its Info control together on the first row, and places Resume on a dedicated row beneath them. The controls stay fixed when Resume appears or disappears; desktop layout, lyric scrolling, playback, line timing, and lyric text are unchanged.

  7. Version 2.38.1

    Keep synced lyrics steady while you listen and tap

    Stabilizes the mobile synced-lyrics view. Persistent song titles in the lyrics header and playback dock now wrap in place beside their Info controls instead of panning and appearing clipped; the selected album-row title retains overflow panning. A lyric tap no longer briefly enters manual-follow mode or restarts title motion, active-line centering scrolls only the dedicated lyric viewport, and Android long-press selection can no longer distort the interactive lyric controls or trigger a synthetic seek. Playback, line timing, and lyric text are unchanged.

  8. Version 2.38.0

    Trace every Study text and open every song page

    Extends the collapsible, dated Text provenance chain from the Canticle of the Creatures to all 93 Study records: 45 reciprocal source-language and AVSV pairs plus WEB-C, WEBP, and the Clementine Vulgate. Each chain distinguishes the Study edition, A.I.-assisted AVSV translation where present, consulted digital source, identified edition or witness, and original work only where the metadata supports that relationship. All 93 primary source links and 41 secondary records remain attached to their proper stages; uncertain editions, inferred witnesses, comparison sources, lost-work testimonies, traditional hymn collections, and Bible packages retain their necessary qualifications. Licensing stays in the quieter secondary disclosure. This release also adds a canonical song-page Info action beside both the synced-lyrics title and the now-playing title for all 180 tracks, with matching Light, Dark, and Retro styling.

  9. Version 2.37.5

    Restore the pre-audit Retro cassette set

    Reverts only the 15 full-height cassette-insert replacements introduced by Version 2.37.4, returning those releases to their immediately preceding transparent v2 cassette artwork. Retro Mode, true-alpha cassette cases, the corrected Vol. 2, Light Beyond the Tomb, Truth Cannot Perish, and standalone full-height Milan-to-Ostia cassettes all remain unchanged. The Retractations reader, citations, audiobook, corpus, music, lyrics, and playback behavior are unchanged.

  10. Version 2.37.4

    Retractations throughout Study and full-height cassette audit

    Renames Augustine’s English work from Reconsiderations to Retractations throughout the reader, library, tabs, cover, citation previews, and complete Aiden audiobook while retaining stable retractationes IDs, paths, anchors, and saved links. The four-hour read-along replaces only its title lead; all 94 later MP3s remain byte-identical, with 95 timing sidecars and the master rebound to the new display title. This release also audits all 19 Retro cassette assets at full resolution and replaces the 15 legacy inserts that retained thin top-and-bottom template filler with authentic full-height catalog artwork. Ten use title-safe portrait crops and five expand only text-free background areas so every logo and title remains complete. The already-clean Vol. 2, Light Beyond, Truth Cannot Perish, and Milan-to-Ostia cassettes remain unchanged; true-alpha cases, Light and Dark square covers, audio, tracks, lyrics, and playback are otherwise unchanged.

  11. Version 2.37.3

    Full-height Milan-to-Ostia cassette art

    Removes the remaining black letterbox bands from the From Milan to Ostia: Instrumental Meditations cassette in Retro Mode. The cassette now uses the canonical full-height Suno video first frame inside the existing true-alpha case, preserving the authentic neon Roman road-to-Ostia composition and exact album wording. The Light and Dark square cover, audio, track order, lyrics data, and playback behavior are unchanged.

  12. Version 2.37.2

    Clearer AVSV translation disclosure

    Replaces the redundant descriptive line beneath the AVSV edition in the Canticle of the Creatures provenance chain with English Translation (A.I. Assisted). The separate semantic category remains English translation; provenance relationships, links, dates, translation text, source text, manuscript claims, and licensing remain unchanged. Retro Mode also replaces all 19 cassette images with true-alpha artwork so the clear cases sit directly on the theme instead of white rectangles. The Light Beyond the Tomb (Piano Sessions Version) now uses its canonical full-height portrait artwork rather than a square-cover derivative with filler bands; the corrected Ambrosian Catechesis, Vol. 2 and Truth Cannot Perish cassette faces are retained.

  13. Version 2.37.1

    Connected Canticle provenance

    Makes the Canticle of the Creatures provenance chain directly explorable. The inherited Medieval Umbrian stage now opens its original-language edition inside Study, and the original-composition stage links to the canonical article about the work. Assisi MS 338 retains its separate manuscript-index-and-scans link, licensing remains in Source details & licensing, and no translation, source text, manuscript claim, or license changes.

  14. Version 2.37.0

    Cassette artwork throughout Retro Mode

    Corrects the Canticle of the Creatures provenance model so authorship is no longer visually conflated with its surviving manuscript. The chain now distinguishes the AVSV, the Medieval Umbrian source text, its proofread Italian Wikisource transcription, Assisi MS 338 as the earliest surviving mid-13th-century witness and not an autograph, the original composition of c. 1225–1226 whose autograph is not known to survive, and Saint Francis as the composing author. Licensing remains in the secondary disclosure, and no translation, source body, source link, or license changes. This release also makes every music release use its canonical cassette artwork in Retro Mode across the album grid, album detail view, now-playing and lyrics dock, and device Media Session controls. Switching themes updates artwork without interrupting playback; Light and Dark modes retain the square covers, portrait cassettes are shown without cropping, and a failed cassette request safely falls back to the square album cover.

  15. Version 2.36.7

    Clearer provenance guidance

    Replaces the provenance disclosure prompt Follow this text upstream with the plainer Trace where this text came from in every provenance-enabled reader. The source chain, dates, links, licenses, collapse behavior, and source text remain unchanged.

  16. Version 2.36.6

    Refresh-safe public deep links

    Completes refresh-safe deep links through the public WordPress Study wrapper. A reload-only tab marker now survives the wrapper replacing its own history state, so scrolling from a linked sentence back to the title and refreshing stays at the title; a genuinely fresh tab or changed link still opens the exact requested passage, even if browser tab state was copied. The direct app, existing host history data, visible shareable URL, invalid-route handling, and ordinary saved positions remain intact.

  17. Version 2.36.5

    Refresh preserves reading position

    Introduced one-time deep-link handling and preserved the visible shareable URL so direct-app refreshes could restore the reader's saved position instead of replaying the original anchor. The public WordPress wrapper could still replace its history marker during a full reload; Version 2.36.6 completes that wrapper case.

  18. Version 2.36.4

    Qualified provenance dates

    Adds a qualified date line to every stage of the visible Canticle of the Creatures provenance chain. The interface now distinguishes the AVSV Study publication date, the canticle's approximate composition period, all three controlling Italian Wikisource revision dates, the manuscript's copying period, and the date at which its attribution is attested; the responsive rows wrap without horizontal overflow, and the collapsed disclosure remains clean for assistive technology.

  19. Version 2.36.3

    Collapsible text provenance

    Makes the visible text-provenance chain an open-by-default disclosure. Readers can collapse the complete upstream path to one compact row and reopen it with a tap or keyboard, while every stage, source link, manuscript link, license, and bibliographic claim remains unchanged.

  20. Version 2.36.2

    Traceable Canticle provenance

    Makes the provenance of Canticle of the Creatures immediately traceable in both its AVSV and Medieval Umbrian readers. A visible, reusable source chain now distinguishes the AVSV English translation, the Umbrian source text, the three revision-pinned Italian Wikisource manuscript-page transcriptions that control the import, Assisi MS 338, and the manuscript's attribution to Saint Francis; source and manuscript links sit with the stages they document. Full source notes, the Wikisource transcription license, and the AVSV license remain in a quieter Source details & licensing disclosure. The companion action now correctly says Medieval Umbrian rather than Latin, and no translation or source body text changes.

  21. Version 2.36.1

    One-tap theme cycling

    Replaces the Light, Dark, and Retro picker panel with one direct theme button. Each press cycles Light → Dark → Retro → Light, immediately updates the button’s icon and label, and preserves the chosen theme for the next visit. All three visual themes and media playback remain unchanged.

  22. Version 2.36.0

    Five source works behind the music

    Adds ten reciprocal readers for five complete source works behind six song relationships: Augustine's Letters 2–4 from pinned CSEL 34.1 Latin with new AVSV companions; the anonymous morning hymn Lucis largitor splendide, responsibly labeled Pseudo-Hilary, with its Migne variants and a new AVSV translation; and Francis of Assisi's Cantico di Frate Sole in medieval Umbrian from Assisi MS 338—not a later Latin rendering—with a new AVSV translation. Study now contains 45 source-language/AVSV pairs and 93 records. Poetic lineation is preserved, technical apparatus and the Franciscan manuscript rubric remain in Source notes, twelve CSEL transcription artifacts are corrected against the printed scan while genuine difficult readings remain, both of Letter 3's explicit mentions of Soliloquies open that complete Study work, and no synthetic narration is added.

  23. Version 2.35.5

    Voices around Augustine in On the Happy Life

    Replaces the single-voice audiobook of On the Happy Life with a complete multivoice production: Aiden remains Augustine, joined by distinct voices for Monica, Licentius, Trygetius, Navigius, and Adeodatus. Natural speaker pauses and word-level read-along highlighting are preserved across all four chapters.

  24. Version 2.35.4

    Verse field follows the reading position

    The Verse field now shows the current verse at the reader’s established reading line as Scripture scrolls, including after citation and deep-link opening, selector jumps, saved-position restoration, text-size changes, and linked scrolling across WEB-C, WEBP, and the Clementine Vulgate. The field no longer settles on a dash; the dash remains only as its pre-measurement placeholder.

  25. Version 2.35.3

    One clear Scripture locator

    Makes the comparison box the sole locator display for ordinary mapped Scripture previews. Redundant Printed as, WEB-C, and passage-locator labels are removed; the verse text now follows the comparison directly, while the WEB-C footer remains to identify the translation. Meaningful printed-witness qualifiers and extra coordinates remain visible, as do the fuller layouts required for multiple passages, unresolved mappings, reviewed corrections, and scope expansions.

  26. Version 2.35.2

    Compact scholarly Scripture navigation

    Makes Scripture navigation compact and scholarly across WEB-C, WEBP, and the Clementine Vulgate. Book controls use SBL Handbook-style abbreviations, chapter and verse controls show bare numeric values, and tiny Book, Chapter, and Verse labels sit inside each field in the same theme-aware accent as the Info icon. Full book names and contextual chapter/verse wording remain available to assistive technology; stored book IDs, deep links, parallel-text alignment, bridged verse markers, and native dropdown behavior are unchanged.

  27. Version 2.35.1

    Correct passage-selection endpoint contraction

    Fixes sentence, verse, and line-range selection so tapping either selected endpoint removes the unit that was actually tapped. Previously, tapping the original anchor after extending a selection removed the opposite endpoint; forward and reverse selections now contract symmetrically while preserving extension, interior taps, copy controls, citations, and source formatting.

  28. Version 2.35.0

    Retro Studio theme

    Adds Retro as a third persistent Study theme alongside Light and Dark, carrying the established Augustinus Vox song-player language—midnight and plum console surfaces, cyan and pink signal lines, orange status accents, subtle perspective grids, and active-playback meters—through the workspace, tabs, drawers, dialogs, narration deck, and Music player while keeping the reading page calm and highly legible. A new accessible three-choice theme menu shows the actual current mode and fixes the old rail control that said Dark in both Light and Dark. Existing preferences migrate without change, both earlier themes remain available, and Retro motion and glow respect reduced-motion and increased-contrast settings.

  29. Version 2.34.4

    Clean editorial numbering throughout Study

    Audits every plain-text reader for false numeric and print-locator artifacts. It keeps the year 386 and both chapter 20 references inside the opening Migne note for Against the Academics, removes the redundant 1–13 book sentinels from the Confessions readers, completes the removal of the overlapping Hexaemeron print-page sequence while repairing the page-split word firmament, and omits the final p. 0656 footer from Retractationes / Reconsiderations. Authentic numbered prose remains intact; the checksum-locked archival witnesses, structural anchors, Latin–English synchronization, citation previews, selection, copying, and narration are preserved.

  30. Version 2.34.3

    Clearer Bible numbering in citations

    Makes Bible citation comparisons explicit: Psalm differences now identify LXX/Vulgate numbering and Hebrew/WEB-C numbering, while non-Psalm differences use the accurate Vulgate and WEB-C labels. A short note confirms that renumbered references point to the same passage, book-name differences receive their own labels, identical references still show that the two editions agree, and reviewed or expanded locators retain their specialized wording.

  31. Version 2.34.2

    Simpler Saint Augustine credit

    Displays Saint Augustine as the sole author line throughout all 13 English Augustine editions and their Info panels, replacing the earlier two-line Aurelius Augustine and familiar-name treatment. Latin editions retain Aurelius Augustinus; Ambrose, Scripture, other authors, archival text witnesses, citations, synchronization, and audiobook bindings remain unchanged.

  32. Version 2.34.1

    Stable bottom copy controls

    Keeps the passage-selection copy controls in one predictable dock near the bottom of the Study viewport at every screen width. Extending, retracting, scrolling, or making a new selection no longer moves the controls above or below the selected text on desktop, tablet, or landscape phone layouts. Mobile safe-area spacing, audiobook-dock clearance, selection highlighting, and both copy actions remain unchanged.

  33. Version 2.34.0

    Shareable links to exact Study passages

    Adds basic, fail-closed deep links that open one exact work and reader section or one local Bible book, chapter, and verse from either the public /study/ page or the embedded app URL. A valid link reuses the requested work’s existing tab when possible and preserves the rest of the saved workspace; malformed, unavailable, mixed, or unrelated parameters leave ordinary workspace restoration unchanged. This first link format intentionally does not encode layouts, multiple tabs, selections, or open citation panels.

  34. Version 2.33.9

    Final detached Migne fragment removed

    Removes the final detached Migne/transcription fragment—a standalone c at the same page boundary in both De Mysteriis and On the Mysteries—from the two reading panes while retaining it in both checksum-pinned archival witnesses. The exact-count parser rule fails closed if either witness changes. Unresolved Scripture previews such as 4 Esdras 6:41 now also retain the direct “Printed as” source label instead of producing the redundant phrase “Referenced in Printed as.”

  35. Version 2.33.8

    Clean citation display and a fresh cache key

    Completes the citation-display cleanup with a fresh public cache key. Three Migne column coordinates embedded in On the Mysteries citation metadata no longer leak into reader labels or preview locations, and two inherited De Consecratione chapter abbreviations remain correctly displayed as c. instead of being mistaken for Roman 100. Exact archival citation evidence and offsets remain unchanged, and deployment validation now rejects either regression across every reader-facing Bible field.

  36. Version 2.33.7

    Modern English numbering and complete Ambrose Scripture previews

    Audits all 42 English reader entries and displays modern Arabic numbering across structural headings, reader notes, citation labels, and 74 inherited Ambrose editorial markers while leaving the checksum-pinned archival witnesses and raw citation offsets unchanged. The reference panel now includes all 3,460 mapped Ambrose Scripture citations and 33 context-reviewed inherited locator errors, clearly separating the printed witness, Traditional/Vulgate coordinates, and WEB-C coordinates across 881 verse-level mappings, nine whole-chapter renumberings, and 75 book-name differences. The valid citation to 4 Esdras 6:41 is explicitly marked unavailable in WEB-C, the De Tobia note remains a literary cross-reference, and ordinary prose can no longer be altered by heading-number display logic.

  37. Version 2.33.6Editorial summaries aligned across the library

    Editorial summaries aligned across the library

    Applies the Against the Academics distinction between editorial guidance and authorial prose throughout every audited Ambrose, Augustine, and Paulinus reader. Long inherited chapter and prologue synopses remain visible in subordinate italic type, while concise rubrics join their chapter headings; the exceptional mid-chapter rubric in De Vera Religione remains visible as an editorial synopsis. This material no longer enters passage selection, copying, citations, or narration. The release also prevents De Virginitate continuations from crossing a chapter boundary, keeps authorial anchors and audiobook timing intact, and leaves every archival source witness unchanged.

  38. Version 2.33.5Cleaner Ambrose openings and repaired Reconsiderations anchors

    Cleaner Ambrose openings and repaired Reconsiderations anchors

    Opens all 24 Ambrose Latin and AVSV readers at the work's real literary beginning instead of displaying archival provenance, retrieval, source-page, and transcription-catalog records as body text. The checksum-locked source files remain byte-for-byte unchanged, their source and translation details remain available in the Info panel, and genuine reader material—including chapter synopses, Psalm notices, hymn attribution summaries, and the opening Creed prose—is preserved. This release also corrects the parsed Retractationes / Reconsiderations topology from 100 to 107 numbered sections and deterministically rebinds the 35 affected citation-preview anchors, retaining all 389 existing previews.

  39. Version 2.33.4Stable Scripture selection

    Stable Scripture selection

    Keeps selected passages at exactly the same line breaks and word positions before and after a tap, including at larger reader text sizes. The shared correction covers WEB-C, WEBP, the Clementine Vulgate, and multiline selections in ordinary Study works while preserving inline highlighting, range selection, verse navigation, and Copy / Copy with citation.

  40. Version 2.33.3Cleaner Scripture selection

    Cleaner Scripture selection

    Removes the redundant rounded focus box from verse taps in WEB-C, WEBP, and the Clementine Vulgate, so Scripture now uses the same unobtrusive inline selection treatment as the other Study texts. Verse navigation, range highlighting, and Copy / Copy with citation remain unchanged.

  41. Version 2.33.2Cleaner reading texts and accurate lyric jumps

    Cleaner reading texts and accurate lyric jumps

    Removes legacy Migne pagination and column locators—including standalone numbers such as 1113—from every affected Ambrose Latin and AVSV reading view. The checksum-locked archival witnesses remain unchanged, while authentic book, chapter, and section structure, citations, and exact Latin–English synchronization are preserved. For Android device validation, this release also replaces the coarse variable-bitrate seek map in “Shadow of a Doubt” with a seek-safe 256 kbps constant-bitrate pilot. It reduces measured lyric-line landing error from as much as 1.117 seconds to at most one 24 ms MP3 frame without shifting the canonical vocal cues or changing background playback.

  42. Version 2.33.1Reliable exact lyric-line seeking

    Reliable exact lyric-line seeking

    Corrects the three remaining repeated-chorus boundaries in “Shadow of a Doubt,” forces the synced-lyrics catalog to refresh, and waits for real browser pause and seek-completion events before sound resumes. This prevents an Android timing race from replaying buffered words from the preceding line and ensures the earlier “I used to know…” correction reaches cached clients.

  43. Version 2.33.0Complete Reconsiderations audiobook

    Complete Reconsiderations audiobook

    Adds the complete Aiden read-along for the prologue and all 94 chapters of Augustine’s Reconsiderations—about four hours across both books—with synchronized word highlighting, sentence-click playback, citation omission, and chapter-aware seeking. Every track is checksum-bound to the AVSV text and independently transcribed and aligned under the existing strict QA gates.

  44. Version 2.32.0Ambrose in Latin and AVSV

    Ambrose in Latin and AVSV

    Publishes twelve checksum-locked Ambrose-corpus Migne Latin witnesses with twelve complete A.I.-assisted AVSV working editions. Exact headings, irregular numbering, page and PL markers, citations, Greek runs, attribution and completeness caveats, and linked Latin–English navigation are retained; repeated witness markers and the combined De sacramentis 6–7 boundary now synchronize without changing the printed text.

  45. Version 2.31.4Exact lyric-line seeking pilot

    Exact lyric-line seeking pilot

    Rebuilds all 32 line starts for “Shadow of a Doubt” from its isolated vocal, cross-checked by independent ASR, CTC forced alignment, and vocal MIDI. Tapping a lyric now pauses first and resumes only after the browser finishes seeking, so audio begins with the selected line instead of leaking the preceding words.

  46. Version 2.31.3Accurate reference wording

    Accurate reference wording

    Labels the source location as “Referenced in” rather than “Cited in,” while retaining the cleaner single-target layout introduced in the preceding release. Printed Scripture wording and distinct multi-source labels remain unchanged.

  47. Version 2.31.2Clearer citation previews

    Clearer citation previews

    Shows where a reference occurs with a clear source-location label and removes repeated target headings and duplicate Open controls from single-target previews. Distinct wording such as “ibid.,” printed Scripture references, WEB-C mappings, and multi-source labels remains available when it carries additional meaning.

  48. Version 2.31.1Complete scrolling song titles

    Complete scrolling song titles

    Automatically pans a song name only when it is wider than the available space. The selected album row, pinned player, and synced-lyrics header now reveal the complete title; short names remain still, and reduced-motion readers see the full title wrapped without animation.

  49. Version 2.31.0First-word lyric boundary repair

    First-word lyric boundary repair

    Repairs 88 proven early line cues across 56 vocal tracks, including “Grief and Gratitude,” “The Trial That Shapes the Soul,” and “The Just Man.” Tapping a line now retains its complete opening attack without replaying words from the preceding line. Future lyric batches must pass a fresh checksum-bound first-word audit with zero unresolved strict boundary bleeds.

  50. Version 2.30.5Precise album tap areas

    Keeps each album card at the height of its visible cover and text, so tapping blank grid space no longer opens an album. Covers, titles, metadata, and keyboard activation continue to work normally.

  51. Version 2.30.4Piano Sessions version labels

    Adds “(Piano Sessions Version)” to the 18 arrangement-track titles while retaining the distinct canonical names of tracks 1, 11, 18, and 22. The underlying MP3 files and paths are unchanged.

  52. Version 2.30.3Fresh lyrics position for every song

    Resets the synchronized-lyrics viewport when a different song starts, so a lyric click or manual scroll in one album cannot leave the next song displayed partway down during its instrumental lead-in.

  53. Version 2.30.2Ordered Play album queue

    Makes Play album start or continue the selected release in track order, clearing an older total-shuffle or single-song repeat choice so the second song cannot jump elsewhere unexpectedly.
