Bring the Source Library
into the Embassy.
Surface the primary sources behind every claim. Quotations carry DOIs; engravings carry provenance. The catalogue becomes citable.
This rail is the Recently Translated component — not a screenshot.
The same component an Embassy editor pastes into Webflow, reading the works most recently brought into translation. Scroll it.

The Embassy keeps the books. The Source Library makes them legible again.
For five centuries the Bibliotheca Philosophica Hermetica has held the primary sources of Western esoteric thought — Fludd, Böhme, Khunrath, Ficino — as objects. The Source Library has begun the slower work: translating them, page by page, into a living digital corpus with citations, DOIs, and full text anyone can query.
These components are the bridge. Each one takes a real Source Library endpoint and renders it as something an Embassy editor can drop into a Webflow page in under a minute — a rail of newly translated works, a citation block that footnotes itself, a gallery of alchemical emblems. The catalogue stops being an archive and starts being a surface the public can read.
This site is the showcase, the documentation, and the pitch at once. Everything on it is running against the real API, right now.
Everything the Embassy can build, from one API.
Each is a live, embeddable component. Browse by type, or open any one for its showcase, tuning, and embed code.
