Erasmus Project Library

The following reference works can be downloaded by clicking on them. Format indicates the type of file. A source file is plain-text. A zip file contains multiple files (usually image files as well as a source file).

Some works contain copyrighted material. Such material is clearly labelled and may only be included if accompanied by its copyright and is left unmodified. If you cannot abide by this, you must completely extract the copyrighted material before you use the reference work.

Reference works with images have had the images de-yellowed, cleaned of spurious marks, and clarified. ZIP files containing a folder with the ending of " - original" in the name indicate the original scanned images.

Notes: Bibles and commentaries include both OT and NT, unless otherwise indicated.
