Source Library · a map of the catalogue
What the library holds on ritual, tradition by tradition
Every primary source on liturgy, sacrifice, initiation, magic, funerary and calendar rite, monastic rule and ceremonial that Source Library holds, found by searching the full catalogue of 113,276 records and grouped into eight traditions. Each entry links to the book; the dot beside it says whether a reader can open it today.

How to read it. "Readable" means the book is public and at least nine pages in ten are translated. "Partly" means public with some OCR or translation. "Held, not yet public" is the largest lever on this map: 2,177 of the 5,299 cited books are already in the library but hidden, most of them bulk library imports with no OCR yet. In most traditions the cheapest expansion is an OCR run over what is already held, not a new import.
Method. Eight surveys ran in parallel over a local dump of the catalogue taken at 09:33 on 9 September 2026, each with a checklist of canonical works and the instruction to search in the sources' own vocabulary (Latin, German, French, Wylie, pinyin, transliterations). Every one of the 5,299 cited book ids was checked against the dump before it became a link; 14 hand-typed slips were corrected. Gap lists name public-domain sources but flag every identifier the surveyor could not verify. Nothing was written to the database.

Shape of the holdings
- Egypt is a Book-of-the-Dead library, not a ritual library: BoD is deep (Budge ×6, Lepsius, Naville, Greenfield, Ani facsimile, 9 Met papyri, ~425 artwork records) and the hymns/wisdom papyri are held as TLA-derived originals, but the actual ritual corpus — Pyramid/Coffin Texts, Opening of the Mouth, daily temple ritual, embalming, Bremner-Rhind, Breathings, Gates/Caverns/Litany, Dendera/Edfu, execration texts — is entirely absent; magic is Greek/Demotic only (PGM ×3, Griffith-Thompson).
- Mesopotamia is strong on Sumerian liturgy and Enuma Elish, absent on Akkadian exorcism: ~355 ETCSL compositions (temple hymns, city laments, Inana cycle, Gudea, royal prayers) plus Langdon ×6, King, Thureau-Dangin Rituels accadiens (the one Akitu source), Thompson Devils I, Montgomery bowls, Lidzbarski Mandaean — but no Maqlû, Šurpu, Namburbi, Zimmern, Jensen, Fossey, King Magic; Anatolia and Ugarit are zero; Phoenician only via Cooke (h) and Cory.
- Hebrew/Jewish is manuscript-rich but print-thin: Rylands/Gaster supplies ~40 liturgical MSS across Ashkenazi, French, Persian, Yemenite, Corfu, Indian, Karaite and Samaritan rites, 9 Haggadot, ~60 amulets, Raziel, Sword of Moses, Hekhalot MSS, a Yom Kippur Avodah, Shaʿar ha-Kavvanot, Tikkunei Zohar — but no Shulchan Aruch OḤ, Kol Bo, Manhig, Vitry, Amram, Saadia, Abudarham, Pri Etz Ḥayyim, Siddur ha-Ari, Selichot/Kinot/Hoshanot editions, Sefer ha-Razim, Shimmush Tehillim, Sefer Ḥasidim.
- Christian-Hebraist reception is the best-covered tier: Spencer, Vitringa ×2, Buxtorf Synagoga (Latin), Picart complete, Eisenmenger, Cunaeus, Selden ×3, Lightfoot Horae, Saubert, Hospinian, Jonston, Ricius, Leon's Temple, plus ~40 VD17 dissertations on individual rites (scapegoat, keriah, ḥalitzah, lustration, Passover reclining, mourning) — missing Modena, Bodenschatz, Outram, Reland, Goodwin, Braun, Lightfoot Temple Service, Maimonides De sacrificiis, Ugolini; and ~60% of what is held is h with 0–25 pages OCR'd.
- Readability: the Egyptian and Sumerian tiers are almost all V and fully translated, and the Rylands/Gaster MSS are mostly V and OCR'd; the Latin dissertation layer and the 1900s–1970s Assyriological/Egyptological editions (Breasted II–V, Barton, Thureau-Dangin SAKI, Langdon Penitential Psalms, Lambert, Hallo, Budge Egyptian Magic, Shaʿar ha-Kavvanot, Otzerot Ḥayyim) are held-not-read — OCR passes on those are cheaper wins than new imports.

Shape of the holdings
- Strong: Neoplatonic theurgy (Iamblichus De mysteriis in 35 records across every Ficino printing plus Gale, Parthey, Taylor, Hopfner; Porphyry; Proclus; Psellus; Chaldean Oracles via Patrizi/Opsopoeus/Stanley/Kroll/Mead), Orphica (MSS, Aldine, Hermann, Abel, Kern, Taylor), Mithras (Cumont complete, Dieterich), Hermetica (deep), and the Gnostic/Mandaean/church-order corpus (Pistis Sophia ×6, Bruce Codex ×2, Didache ×3, Apostolic Constitutions/Didascalia ×3, Lidzbarski complete, Norberg).
- Solid but original-language-only: the Roman literary sources — Cicero's religious treatises, Livy, Macrobius, Gellius, Festus, Servius, Cato/Varro are present in early Latin editions and mostly translated; Ovid Fasti exists only as 8 Latin editions (2 visible) with no modern translation; Plutarch's ritual essays are in Bernardakis and Loeb, but the two key Loebs (IV–V) are hidden.
- Thin: the 19th/20th-century Religionswissenschaft layer is nearly absent — no Lobeck, Rohde, Harrison, Nilsson, Foucart, Marquardt, Preller, Fowler, Boissier; only Wissowa, Cumont, Reitzenstein, Creuzer, Farnell (1 vol) and Frazer (1 vol) represent it. The Renaissance antiquarians (Rosinus, Brisson, Saubert, Giraldi, Pignoria, Cartari, Conti, Beuther) are held but almost all hidden with 0–25 pp OCR.
- Papyri/defixiones: Preisendanz I, Audollent, Parthey, Griffith–Thompson, Dieterich Abraxas and McCown are here; missing are the pre-Preisendanz editions (Wessely, Kenyon I, Leemans, Goodwin), all of Wünsch, Heim, and the amulet literature. The 13 Berlin PGM records are catalogue stubs with no pages.
- Norse/Celtic: small but well chosen (Resen Edda, Rask, Saxo, Adam of Bremen, Ibn Fadlan, Olaus Magnus, Grimm, Worm, Arnkiel, Davies, Toland, Carmina Gadelica) — the primary sources are here; the German comparative scholarship (Mannhardt Feldkulte, Golther, Simrock, Bugge, Keysler, Bartholin) is not.

Shape of the holdings
Shape of the holdings (5 lines)
- STRONG and readable: Books of Hours (~55, 40 translated, five Dutch illuminated), exorcism manuals (Menghi, Thesaurus exorcismorum 1608, Visconti, Eynatten, Rituale Romanum 1615 — all translated), the Council of Trent complex (11 Canones + 6 Catechismus Romanus eds, Aldine batch), 15th-c. Mass expositions in incunable form (Hugh of St-Cher, Schildiz, Aquinas opuscula, Albertus), Pseudo-Dionysius (32 editions incl. a 1539 Greek Ecclesiastical Hierarchy), the Syriac/Ethiopic liturgical MSS, Habsburg coronation and election reportage, incunable Ars moriendi, and the 1662 Book of Common Prayer.
- STRONG but unread (held hidden, 0–25 pp OCR — the cheapest expansion of the map): the Upper-Rhine incunable series of missals/breviaries/graduals (Basel, Konstanz, Geneva, Lausanne, Strasbourg, Naumburg, Bursfeld, Dominican, Teutonic), the Rylands "Latin MS" liturgica (Sarum Missal, Colonna Missals, Exultet Roll, antiphoners, Horae), the Rule of St Benedict (three prints + Turrecremata + Smaragdus MS, none readable), Guigo's Carthusian Statuta, Hittorp 1568 (which contains Amalarius, Rabanus, Walafrid, Beleth etc. in one volume), Mabillon Museum Italicum II (Ordines Romani), Bona, Gavanti, Pamelius, Casali, Duranti, Cassander, the ~230-title 16th-c. Latin Eucharistic controversy, the Anhalt baptismal-exorcism pamphlet cluster, and the 1793 Slavonic Dobrotolyubie.
- THIN: pontificals and episcopal ceremonial (fragments), post-Tridentine diocesan missals outside Switzerland, the Byzantine liturgies themselves (only Anglican 19th-c. editions), hesychast core texts (one Philokalia volume), Armenian/Coptic/Slavonic service books (one each or none), monastic customaries, Protestant liturgical formularies proper (one BCP, one Dutch baptism form, one Low-German church order), festival/entry books, confraternity statutes.
- ABSENT: Caeremoniale episcoporum 1600 and Caeremoniale Romanum 1516, Pontificale Romanum in full, Muratori/Tommasi/Gerbert/Martène/Le Brun/Benedict XIV/Assemani/Goar, Mozarabic and Ambrosian missals, Slavonic Sluzhebnik/Trebnik, Horologion/Triodion/Menaion/Typikon, Symeon of Thessalonica, Cabasilas, Codex regularum (Holstenius) and every early rule except Benedict/Augustine, Cluniac/Cistercian customaries, Jesuit Constitutions, all coronation ordines (Liber Regalis, Godefroy, Menin, Wahl- und Krönungsdiarien), royal touch, liturgical drama and Passion plays, everything German by Luther/Zwingli/Bucer on worship, Calvin's Forme des prières, all BCPs but 1662, Knox in English, Westminster Directory, Wesley, Kirchenordnungen, metrical psalters, 19th-c. Anglican ritualism.
- Net: the library's Christian-ritual strength is late-medieval and early-modern Latin devotional/ritual PRACTICE (Hours, chant MSS, missals, exorcism, Ars moriendi, Trent) and the polemics around it; the scholarly-liturgiological layer (Maurists, Muratori, HBS/Surtees, Duchesne–Cabrol) and the non-Latin service books (Byzantine, Slavonic, Reformation vernaculars) are the two big holes.

Cross-cutting notes
- Picart, Cérémonies et coutumes religieuses is held in 9 volumes/editions (French 1723 ×5, Latin ×2, Dutch 1727-38, Herrliberger 1750 — e.g. 69bda0, 6a100a, 698255, all V). The ANE/Hebrew agent owns Picart; it is only cross-referenced here (sections 5 and 2).
- Metadata bugs met on the way: 69b51e (Breviarium Monasticum 1733) carries author "Gikatilla Portae Lucis"; 69a5e4 "Hesychast Theological Treatises" (Vatican Reg.lat.1228) is tagged medicine/alchemy; the 3-vol. "Antiquitatum liturgicarum arcana" 1605 (6a4a5c etc.) has no author and sits under
astrology; Luther's German "Argumenta und Gründe der Sacramentirer" (6a90e4) is language-tagged Latin. Many BSB/e-rara ecclesiastical imports carry the defaultastrology,natural-philosophycollection tags. - Tool note:
grep.mjs --summarythrows on records whosefaceted_tagsis not an array; the subagents ran patched copies in their own scratchpads (repo file untouched).

4. Monastic rules & customaries
Method: local JSONL grep (title/author fields; --summary for concept sweeps), each named work searched in Latin/German/French/Italian/English and by author. Format per line: id | title | author | lang | year | V/h | count/ocr/translated [ORIG|TRANS|STUDY]. Note the corpus-wide picture up front: the monastic-rule genre is HELD in some depth (mostly BSB/e-rara bulk imports, hidden, 0 OCR) but almost nothing in it is readable — of ~630 Christian-monastic title hits, only ~30 are visible+translated, and of the Rule of St Benedict itself, not one edition is readable.

Ceremonial magic, Rosicrucian & Masonic ritual
821 books cited355 readable85 partly376 held, not public197,474 pages held
Shape of the holdings
- Very strong: the learned Renaissance magic canon (Agrippa ×12+ eds, Ficino De vita ×30, Della Porta ×15, Trithemius, Reuchlin, Picatrix Latin ×5, Raziel, Ars notoria, Key of Solomon ×9 in four languages, Munich necromancer's handbook) and the demonology/witch-trial corpus (Wier, Del Rio, Guazzo, Malleus, Rémy, Bodin in three languages, ~25 English trial pamphlets) — almost all visible and translated.
- Exceptional but invisible: the Kloss archive — 845 manuscripts of 18th-c. rituals, catechisms, tuileurs, degree instructions for Strict Observance, Rectified Rite, Gold- und Rosenkreuzer, Asiatic Brethren, Illuminati, Misraïm, adoption lodges and the whole French high-degree system — all OCR'd, 70% translated, 98% hidden. This is the single largest ritual corpus in the library and it is not on the map.
- Strong: Rosicrucian manifestos and 18th-c. Gold-RC prints; Saint-Martin/Pasqually; Illuminati polemics; Mesmerism (Mesmer, Puységur, Deleuze, Franklin report); Blavatsky; 19th-c. French occultism (Lévi, Papus, Guaita) and Waite/Mathers/Crowley in English.
- Thin: popular/folk grimoires exist mostly as late English reprints (Goetia, Grimorium Verum, Sixth & Seventh Moses, Abramelin); English craft-masonry classics (Anderson, Prichard, Preston, Webb, Duncan, Morgan) are held only as German/French versions or not at all; Ragon/Vuillaume/Clavel and the Régulateur are absent; spiritualist practice manuals (Kardec's Médiums, Davis, Home) absent.
- Absent: Grimoire of Honorius, Scot 1584, Bodin French, Boguet, Cyprianus, Long Lost Friend, Scheible's Kloster, Dee's Enochian MSS, Cagliostro's Egyptian Rite, Memphis, Robison/Barruel, Golden Dawn/OTO rituals, Görres, Paul Christian, and all post-1930 scholarship (Yates, Kieckhefer).

Read the c/o/t column. Many hidden (h) rows are bulk library imports with x/0/0 — held, not readable. The Kloss archive is the opposite case: 845 books carry a kloss-* slug, 831 are hidden, 14 visible — yet every one is OCR'd and 591 are translated. That corpus is readable-but-invisible, which matters for a public "map of ritual".

Shape of the holdings
- Strong: Tibetan/Bhutanese practitioner ritual (1,286 fully translated liturgical texts across six monastic collections, plus two Kangyurs with ~40 tantra volumes, a 38-vol Nyingma Gyubum, and 400 BDRC volumes waiting on OCR) — this is where the library's "map of ritual" is deepest; Kashmiri Śāradā domestic ritual (~1,490 MSS, ~300 ritual manuals, held but 0 OCR); Woodroffe-era Śākta tantra and Kashmir Śaiva (Tantrāloka complete and readable; Somaśambhupaddhati and Kriyāsamuccaya are real prizes); the complete Indian SBE run (all 33 vols, Satapatha and Gṛhya complete); graha-śānti manuals (12 readable).
- Adequate: Ṛgveda (Müller 1–5 + Griffith), Atharvaveda (Bloomfield, Whitney, Pandit 3/5), Dharmaśāstra in translation (Manu, Viṣṇu, Āpastamba/Gautama, Nārada), Pali Vinaya (SBE 13/17 readable, 20 hidden) and Pali canon, Purāṇas in Sanskrit (Agni, Garuḍa, Liṅga, Brahma, Skanda), Haṭha-yoga triad, Bardo Thödol (three Tibetan recensions + Evans-Wentz), Balinese ritual lontar (present, 0 OCR).
- Thin: Śrauta ritual proper — Caland's Agniṣṭoma is the only full description; no Śrauta-sūtra text except a fragment of Mānava; no Brāhmaṇa in Sanskrit besides a 1-page Śatapatha stub; Sāma/Yajur almost bare; Gṛhya in Sanskrit only Gobhila and Hiraṇyakeśin; Buddhist Sanskrit tantra (one Kriyāsamuccaya, no Sādhanamālā/Guhyasamāja); Theravada ritual (one Burmese prayer book; no paritta, no Kammavācā); Jain and Sikh ritual (canon and Granth present, no pūjā/pratikramaṇa/rahit); Bon (one Dzogchen cycle, no rites).
- Absent: the whole German śrauta-philology shelf (Hillebrandt, Schwab, Weber Rājasūya, Caland Zauberritual, Bloomfield Kauśika), the classic European ethnography of Hindu rites (Colebrooke, Ward, Dubois, Stevenson, Wilson Sects, Ziegenbalg, Roger, Sonnerat, Bernier, Tavernier), Āgama/Pāñcarātra/Vaikhānasa temple ritual, Mīmāṃsā sūtras with Śabara, Ceylon/Burma/Siam monastic ethnography (Hardy, Upham, Copleston, Bowring), Tengyur, and the Tibetological reception (Georgi, Huc, Köppen, Grünwedel Mythologie).
- Operational note: the two largest ritual corpora (Śāradā MSS, BDRC) are held-but-invisible; readers currently see Bhutan and the Woodroffe/KSTS prints. Item-level indexing of the 40 Kangyur rGyud volumes and OCR of the ~300 Śāradā ritual manuals would change the map more than any acquisition.
Full survey, work by work
Source: local dump scratchpad/wisdom/books.jsonl (113,276 books), searched with scratchpad/ritual/grep.mjs (title/author/summary regex). Survey date 2026-09-09. No Mongo queries, no repo edits.
Line format: - <work> — <id> | <title> | <author> | <lang> | <year> | V/h | pages_count/pages_ocr/pages_translated. Tags: [ORIG] original-language source, [TRANS] translation, [STUDY] modern study/ethnography, [MS] manuscript scan. URL = https://sourcelibrary.org/book/<id>.
Reading the counters: V + translated>0 = readable now. h with 0/0 (or 25/0 = 25-page sample) = held, not yet readable. Three big blocks of this survey are held-but-unreadable: the ~1,490 eGangotri Sanskrit manuscript scans, the 400 BDRC volumes, and a scatter of hidden SBE duplicates.
0. The three corpora that dominate this map
(a) Kashmiri Śāradā manuscript import (~1,490 books, all hidden, 51 with any OCR). Signature: Unknown | Sanskrit | Sanskrit | Unknown | h. Titles carry provenance tags (Anantnag, Baramulla, Kupwara, Kulgam, Shopian, "UPSS", "DAM", "Sharada Manuscript Trust", "Alm 1 Panjab Uni", "Raghunath Temple", "Dina Nath Raina"). No collection assigned. By title, ~301 are ritual manuals proper (vidhi / paddhati / prayoga / śrāddha / saṃskāra / vrata / sandhyā / homa), ~324 stotra-kavaca-mantra, ~183 jyotiṣa, ~127 tantra. This is the single largest body of practitioner ritual text in the library; the domestic ritual of one community (Kashmiri Pandit, Laugākṣi/Kāṭhaka gṛhya tradition) is represented at a depth no printed corpus matches. It is invisible to readers until OCR'd.
(b) Bhutan monastic collections (1,286 texts, 1,286 readable — 100% translated). Ogyen Choling 440, Drametse Monastery 278, Gangtey 245, Thadrak Temple 142, Neyphug 134, Phurdrup Gonpa 40, Tshamdrak 7. Includes two Kangyur sets (Neyphug 105 vols, Thadrak 108 vols; of these ~40 rGyud/tantra volumes and ~25 'Dul ba/Vinaya volumes), a 38-volume rNying ma rgyud 'bum (Drametse), and several hundred liturgical booklets. This is the library's strongest ritual holding of any tradition.
(c) BDRC public-domain volumes (400, all hidden, 10 with OCR). Collected works (gsung 'bum), tantric-college liturgies, sadhana collections, mdos/bsang collections, bar do thos grol chen mo, zhang zhung snyan rgyud (Bon). Enormous page counts (some 8–15K pages). Held, not readable.

Shape of the holdings
- Strong: Qur'an as object (Hijazi to Ruzbihan, first printed Arabic 1694, Marracci, Du Ryer, Sale, Rodwell, Palmer); Zoroastrian text-editions (Anquetil to Geldner, all SBE Avesta/Pahlavi volumes, a Yasna liturgical MS, Modi's ceremonies manual, Hyde 1700, Persian Zoroastrian MSS incl. Ṣad dar); Arabic magic core (Būnī ×4, two Arabic Ghāyat al-ḥakīm, Kitāb al-Bulhān, an Arabic raml treatise); Rumi/Ibn ʿArabī/Ghazali/Qushayrī/Hujwīrī/Sarrāj in original languages; West African and Zulu ethnography (Callaway, Ellis ×4, Kingsley, Nassau, Rattray, Talbot, Junod, Frobenius, Dennett); Druze (Rasāʾil al-ḥikma + de Sacy); Chwolsohn on the Sabians; Doutté and Westermarck on Maghribi ritual.
- Unexpected strength: the Leiden Or. Indonesian manuscripts and the Javanese "WM ID" pesantren collection form a real 19th-c. Southeast-Asian ritual library — ~15 duʿāʾ books, wird/awrād, 8 Rifāʿī rātib/dhikr booklets, mawlid fragments, khutba collection, salat and fasting fiqh, 5 copies of Nawawī's Minhāj, Sammāniyya dhikr method, Shaṭṭārī/Qādirī silsilas — but most WM ID items are hidden with 0 OCR, and Arabic-script OCR is the gate.
- Thin: hadith (one Bukhārī, one Muslim fragment, one Kāfī); fiqh of worship outside Ghazālī and the Javanese MSS (no Hidāya, Bidāya, Qayrawānī, Shiʿi fiqh); Ottoman/Persian/Mughal court ritual (Evliya held but barely OCR'd; Āʾīn-i Akbarī partial; Dabistān only in Persian MSS); Sufi orders as institutions (nothing on Depont-Coppolani/Rinn/Brown; no ʿAwārif, no Aflākī); European traveller-reporters of ritual (only Niebuhr, Lane, Kaempfer, Leo Africanus, Montagu); Ethiopia (one magic MS, Kebra Nagast, Ludolf un-OCR'd); Manichaean (Boyce, Allberry).
- Absent: hajj literature (no Burton, Burckhardt Arabia, Snouck, Ibn Jubayr, manāsik); the great Sunni prayer books (Dalāʾil al-khayrāt, Burda, Adhkār); Shiʿi ritual (no Ṣaḥīfa, Nahj, taʿziya — no Pelly/Chodzko); Nusayri, Ibadi, Ismaili texts; d'Ohsson; Zār/Gnawa; dream books; Falasha; Ifa/Candomblé/Santería/Obeah studies (only Owen's Voodoo Tales and Moreau de Saint-Méry); van Gennep, Durkheim Formes, Marett, Lagrange.
- Readability caveat: the six Bibliander Latin Qur'ans, Sale 1734, Būnī's full Shams al-maʿārif (304 pp), Spiegel vol. 2, Bleeck, SBE 18/24, Ludolf, Maqrīzī, Ibn Baṭṭūṭa and almost every Rylands Persian MS are held but have 0-50 pages OCR'd — on this map they count as "held, not readable"; the cheapest wins are OCR runs, not imports.
Full survey, work by work

Shape of the holdings
- Strong: Mesoamerican primary sources — full Florentine Codex, 13 pictorial codices, Popol Vuh in manuscript plus first two printings, six Chilam Balam books, Landa (x3), Cogolludo, Sánchez de Aguilar, and the 84-book 6a9f new-world wave (Durán, Torquemada, Motolinía, Las Casas, Clavigero, Veytia, Boturini, Kingsborough). But the whole wave is hidden and 80/84 have zero OCR — held, not readable, and untagged (so
mesoamerican/americasundercount by ~80). - Strong but un-processed: Andes (Guaman Poma, Garcilaso, Acosta visible and translated; Cieza, Cobo, Arriaga, Sarmiento, Calancha, Molina/Pachacuti, Oré 1607 hidden), Baltic/Finnic (Kalevala 1835, Kalevipoeg, Einhorn x3, Mannhardt, Boecler — all visible), Picart (9 records, 8 visible, ~9,000 pages translated), and the 1690s-1730s superstition literature (Bekker x4, Le Brun, Van Dale, Buddeus).
- Thin: North America is only Americanist monographs (Mooney, Cushing, Matthews, Boas, Swanton, Densmore, Hale) — zero Jesuit Relations, zero Lafitau/Charlevoix, zero BAE series; Oceania is Grey (x4), Cook I, Codrington, Spencer & Gillen and Hawaiian material — no Ellis, Best, Howitt, Haddon; Siberia is early-modern travel (Scheffer x3 hidden, Strahlenberg, Pallas hidden, Krasheninnikov) with no 19th-20th c. shamanism ethnography.
- Absent: every Christian doctrina/confesionario in an indigenous American language except Eliot's Bible and Oré; Ruiz de Alarcón/Serna; Pérez Bocanegra; Mapuche/Guaraní ritual beyond Montoya's lexicon; the Caribbean chroniclers; Blair & Robertson; the British/German folklore canon after Brand (Mannhardt, Wuttke, Hone, Chambers, Dyer, Gomme, Sébillot, Van Gennep, Leland); and the core of ritual theory (Frazer beyond GB1 vol. 1, Tylor vol. II, Lang, Hubert & Mauss, Durkheim's Formes, Harrison, Marett, Van Gennep, Otto, Freud Totem).
- Housekeeping: duplicates to merge — Dresden Codex (2), Landa/Brasseur (3), Popol Vuh Brasseur (3), Grey Polynesian Mythology (4), Piso (2), Westervelt Historical Legends (2), Boemus (3), Scheffer (3), Chumayel/Gordon (2); seven 0-page stubs to delete or merge (69b636 Florentine, 69b636 and 69b636 Popol Vuh, 69b636 Chimalpopoca, 69b636 Tizimin, 69b636 Huarochirí, 69b636 Cantares); two Picart records mislabelled "Latin".
Full survey, work by work
Source: local dump scratchpad/wisdom/books.jsonl (113,276 records), searched 2026-09-09 via scratchpad/ritual/grep.mjs.
Row format: - <work> — <id> | <title> | <author> | <lang> | <year> | V/h | count/ocr/translated. Tags: [orig] original-language source, [trans] translation of a source, [study] modern scholarship/anthropology, [img] image-only record (0 pages).
Tool note: --summary in grep.mjs crashes (faceted_tags is an object, not an array); I ran a patched copy in my session scratchpad. Summaries are sparse anyway ("human sacrifice" 0 hits, "shaman" 4), so all findings come from title/author fields.
Key discovery: the 2026-09 "new-world" wave is id prefix 6a9f3f…/6a9f49… (84 books) plus an earlier 6a09ff… batch (Durán, Landa/Brasseur, Motolinía, Seler, Förstemann). Every 6a9f book is hidden, and all but four have 0 OCR (exceptions: Arriaga 131/125, Cobo vol. 1 533/519, Cieza "Señorío" 471 OCR/0 trans, Pachacuti-Molina "Three Relations" 371 OCR/0 trans). They are HELD, not readable, and carry no collection tags.

Proposed tagging (not applied)
The surveys suggest a small set of ritual-facing collections that do not exist today, mirroring the existing ritual-ceremonial-magic and book-of-the-dead slugs. None has been created; this is a proposal for review.
- liturgy-latin-rite — missals, breviaries, Books of Hours, pontificals, exorcism manuals, Trent complex (~350 books, mostly hidden incunables).
- liturgy-eastern — Syriac, Ethiopic, Armenian, Coptic, Greek and Slavonic service books and hesychast texts.
- monastic-rules — Rule of Benedict and its commentators, Carthusian statutes, desert-monastic literature.
- theurgy-mysteries — Iamblichus, Chaldean Oracles, Orphica, Mithras, Eleusis; distinct from the broad
classical-mysteriescanon. - kloss-rituals — the ritual and catechism subset of the 845 Kloss books (591 already translated, 831 hidden): the single largest unpublished ritual corpus in the library.
- sharada-ritual-manuals — the ~1,490 hidden Kashmiri Śāradā manuscripts (vidhi, paddhati, stotra, tantra), currently in no collection.
- new-world-ritual — the September 2026 import of 84 Mesoamerican and Andean chronicles, all hidden and untagged.
- ritual-theory — Frazer, Tylor, Robertson Smith, Hubert & Mauss, Durkheim, van Gennep and the antiquarian compendia (Picart, Boemus, Hospinian).
