One of my biggest questions in particular was whether titles should be used in author names. Upon some searches, it seems like St. is when applicable, but no ecclesial titles like Fr., Card., or the like are used, except for Pope.
Is this accurate?

Initially, I did put St., Cdl. or Card., Fr., Sr., etc., but then I dropped it. I kept "Pope" to distinguish real popes from anti-popes.
I would say don't include any authors' titles.
Religious order abbreviations, academic, and other suffixes are generally preserved.

Last post by fdsia8ds0 - May 27, 2024, 11:18:04 AM

Good day,

I have been building up a digital library of books I've been meaning to read---much of the content overlapping with what one may find here. Things seem to be well-organized in the Calibre library, so I was wondering whether there were specific rules used in tagging/naming/sorting the files, so that I may do likewise?

One of my biggest questions in particular was whether titles should be used in author names. Upon some searches, it seems like St. is when applicable, but no ecclesial titles like Fr., Card., or the like are used, except for Pope.
Is this accurate?

Also, is there a chat for this sort of thing, or just the forum? Thank you!

(P.S.: it appears, however, that postnomials are used)

Greetings! I came here from the Suscipe Domine forum. This seems like a great source for someone who loves books, so that is what draws me here.

God bless!

Welcome!

Metadata from Calibre is being entered, too, ☧ gratias.

The various archives are now on the Interplentary File System (IPFS). See the "IPFS" links in the banner above.

I've removed this. IPFS takes up too much bandwidth.

I found this on Wikipedia: "Contrary to Library Genesis and Sci-Hub, not much is known about Z-Library in terms of its operation, management, commercial status and mission statement. Notably, Z-Library doesn't open its full database to the public."

LibGen does seem better. Its books are on the IPFS.

She's the great patroness of traditional Catholics!
She and her spiritual director, Bl. Raymond of Capua (Dominican master general), founded the Dominican Observant Reform Movement, which St. Vincent, fra' Girolamo Savonarola, et al. continued.
Her canonization was pivotal for ending the Great Western Papal "Schism".
Oret pro nobis!
