The Codex Bibliography: 270 Verified Entries

Foundation of Asha › The Codex › Bibliography

This lists the works the Codex actually cites: 270 entries — every modern scholarly work, primary edition, reference entry, and dataset the 37 Books lean on, extracted mechanically from the text and then checked one by one against publisher records, library catalogues, and journal indexes. It is not a survey of any field and it is not a reading list.

Entries were verified where verification was possible and are flagged where it was not. A work marked [cited in text; full reference unverified] is one the volume uses and this bibliography could not independently confirm in the form cited. Nothing here was reconstructed from memory. Where the volume’s own citation is incomplete or wrong, the correct data is given and the discrepancy is named — a bibliography in a book about provenance does not get to be quiet about its own.

The Lexicon defines the volume’s terms, the index locates their discussion, and this page lists what the volume read.

The source corpus

The Foundation's provenance corpus: a ten-month argumentative exchange of 27,190 unique messages across four channels, 2025-07-21 to 2026-05-24, machine-verified verbatim and segmented. Described and analysed in Book XIII — The Corpus.

The comparative-scripture corpus (Book XXIII)

Assembled from public-domain and openly licensed texts; the source, edition, and translator of every item are printed in Chapter 23.1 with word counts, and the translator-effect is measured rather than assumed. Components: the Soncino and Sulam Zohar and Tikkunei Zohar via Sefaria; Mills–Darmesteter Avesta; Irani's Gathas; Griffith's Rigveda selection; Arnold and Telang Bhagavad Gita; KJV Tanakh and New Testament selections; Charles's 1 Enoch; and de Jong's Traditions of the Magi as a modern-scholarship control.

Open libraries and archives

Sefaria (sefaria.org) — linked open library of Jewish texts; Talmud, Tanakh, Midrash, Zohar. avesta.org — public-domain Avestan and Pahlavi translations. Corpus Avesticum Berolinense — the in-progress critical Avesta edition. HMML Reading Room (vhmml.org) — digitized Ethiopian and Eastern Christian manuscripts; the EMML films completed digitization in June 2025. The Dead Sea Scrolls digital libraries — Israel Antiquities Authority and Israel Museum high-resolution imaging. Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy (plato.stanford.edu). Encyclopaedia Iranica (iranicaonline.org). Foundation of Asha explainers (foundationofasha.com), CC BY 4.0.

Note on method

Candidate citations were extracted mechanically from all thirty-six Books by _build/extract_refs.py, which matches author–title–year patterns, bare author–year references, DOIs, journal names, and a seeded surname list, and records the Book and chapter of every hit. The candidates were then verified individually against publisher pages, library catalogue records, journal indexes, Crossref, PubMed, and — for the Foundation's own deposits and the 2026 encyclical — the issuing sites themselves.

Two limits, stated plainly. First, this bibliography covers works the volume cites; a work the volume paraphrases without naming is not here. Second, several ancient corpora — the patristic writers, the Pahlavi books, the classical historians — are cited by work and section without a named edition, and are listed as such rather than assigned an edition they may not have used.
