The disclaimer

Renascence Editions
Early Modern texts published by Renascence Editions are not peer reviewed. While we have done our best to ensure "accuracy" in both the texts and any apparatus, we do not represent these texts as scholarly editions. Please consider them as at best teaching editions. Some titles pay an uneven but enthusiastic homage to the type facsimile, and all may be suitable for the general reader, for high school and undergraduate teaching, and for casual text searches to aid in the work of graduates and scholars. Graduate students and scholars who base their research on any of these texts may find their work questioned in the academic community, and rightly so. Go to the editions specified by the best authorities in the field for such work.
