Bonaventure on the Sentences (Latin ↔ English)

2,113 chunks of Bonaventure's Commentary on the Sentences and related works, Latin (Quaracchi) aligned with English (~3.33M words). Apparatus (notes, scholia) is kept in a separate field, never merged into the text.

Canonical home: https://bonaventure.wrootpress.com (each record carries its canonical URL). This dataset is a machine-generated export of that site's build, regenerated from the source of truth and never hand-edited; the site remains the one published address of the text.

How the English was made

English text was drafted with LLM assistance and checked against the source; the verification procedure and what has and has not been checked are described on the site's rights / about pages. Treat it as a careful working translation, not a critical edition.
