An edition of Baruch Spinoza's Ethica (1677). The Latin text follows the 1677 Opera Posthuma and the English the 1883 translation of R. H. M. Elwes. Every internal citation is a working link; where the two witnesses cite differently, the divergence is noted on the section page and gathered in the Apparatus.
