The site gives access to diverse published texts, such as entire books (as the [[Alphonse de Candolle, Origine des plantes cultivées. 1882 and 1886.|Origin of cultivated plants]]) or quotations. The principle is to respect litterally the text as it was published. There may subsist errors due to copying or coming from OCR, and corrections are welcome.
