Athenaeum of Christian Antiquity
Computer Series
The object of this series of translations in ASCII format is
primarily to furnish Christians with small, short, and handy files
which will facilitate the study of Christian origins. We hope
reading older, public domain translations will increase interest in
and demand for newer, modern translations of the same works. In
most cases, these newer translations are excellent, containing
introductory materials, notes, comments, alternate readings, and
useful Biblical cross-references. If these computer files induce
readers to seek out these newer, more elaborate works, the
Athenaeum of Christian Antiquity stands ready to assist.
Ancient literature, important to the study of earliest
Christianity, is no longer available in many public libraries and,
in many cases, out-of-print. To make these texts more generally
accessible, the Athenaeum of Christian Antiquity freely produces
and circulates computer files containing them. These files may be
freely moved from computer to computer, either by phone, disk, or
other means. Users are encouraged to print and bind copies for
donation to nearby libraries: public, church, and university.
Profit is discouraged. "Freely ye have received; freely give."
To improve the readability of printed copies, files in
WordPerfect (formatted for PostScript printers) may be obtained
directly from the Athenaeum of Christian Antiquity.
** New files are being released each Monday. **
Occasionally, older files need to be replaced when typo-
graphical errors are discovered. To avoid such errors, files are
compared with the originals several times before release (this is
the biggest bottleneck in production). Even so, errors creep
through. A reward of $10.00 per typo is paid to the first person
to point it out. [Volunteer proofreaders will be supplied with beta
versions prior to public release.]
