The Library of Civilisation
A repository of the works that built the world
The Library of Civilisation
The Library of Civilisation preserves and presents works that have formed the moral and imaginative inheritance of humankind.
It gathers texts of literature, philosophy, and culture — from ancient scripture to modern reflection — sustained under the care of the Ninth Heaven Literature & Arts Association.
Rooms
Editions
Curated and annotated public-domain works.
Each edition bears the mark of editorial discernment: introductions, commentary, or translation that situate the text within its lineage.
Reading Room
Unaltered public-domain texts presented for open reading and study.
They remain as they were found: to be read, cited, and preserved.
Poetry
Works of verse and lyric drawn from many tongues and traditions, sacred and modern alike.
Philosophy
Texts of ethical, metaphysical, and contemplative inquiry.
Culture & History
Documents, myths, and writings that trace the patterns of civilisations.
Purpose and Use
The Library of Civilisation stands as both an archive and an act of restoration.
All texts are cited faithfully; where translation or commentary is added, it is clearly marked.
Readers are encouraged to acknowledge provenance, editor, and date of restoration when referencing a work.
Attribution and Licensing
Public-domain materials are reproduced for cultural and educational use.
Translations, annotations, and editorial materials produced by Ninth Heaven remain under the intellectual property of their authors and the Association.

The Library may also be explored through its indices:
