Support the Translation

Bonaventure's commentary on the Sentences has never been fully translated into English. All four books are now complete and free to read here; the Opuscula — beginning with the Breviloquium— are underway. The pipeline is proven; the pace is a compute bill.

$10 — a distinction $100 — a decade $10/mo — patron

Everything stays free regardless. Wroot Press is a small independent press — an imprint of Wroot Labs LLC, not a charity. Contributions aren't tax-deductible; they buy compute.
