Every line is quoted word for word from the Alexandria corpus and checked against its source before it was published; the psalms are the Septuagint, in Septuagint numbering, and the Fathers are public-domain translations. The Letter itself is quoted in short passages from the 1953 translation by a Religious of C.S.M.V., which remains in copyright and is used here under fair use. Nothing here is generated.
