# EA-CORPORA-29 — The Twenty-Ninth Seating, the Pluriform: Horace and Ovid, the Art of Poetry in Twenty Traditions, the Avant-Garde II, Telepathic Prose, and the Buddhist Canons in Pali, Sanskrit, Chinese, Korean, Japanese and Tibetan

# EA-CORPORA-29 — The Twenty-Ninth Seating, the Pluriform: Horace and Ovid, the Art of Poetry in Twenty Traditions, the Avant-Garde II, Telepathic Prose, and the Buddhist Canons in Pali, Sanskrit, Chinese, Korean, Japanese and Tibetan

# EA-CORPORA-29 — The Twenty-Ninth Seating

The seating began with Belief & Technique for Telepathic Prose: A Critical Edition (#1715), whose apparatus asked for Kerouac's list (declared, 29/01) and Horace's Ars Poetica (29/02). The author then asked for "an extremely pluriform ars poetica bundle to gather with the others for the next ea-corpora. include telepathic prose", for Ovid entire, for Language writing and the contemporary arts of poetry as wanted, for the experimental, Dada and Surrealist statements of method, and for the bundle to go "further globally, hebrew, sanskrit, korean - this will be the single widest ranging ea corpora deposit", with "Tradition and the Individual Seismograph" beside Eliot's essay. Gathering it for deposit, he widened it once more: "lets just make it a *totally* pluriform bundled ea-corpora - we need buddhist canon, various traditions, mahayana included."

Eleven seats. The arts of poetry run from the Nāṭyaśāstra and the Great Preface to the Odes through Mayakovsky, Hagiwara and Bialik, in twenty traditions, beside the avant-garde's statements of method and the archive's own art of poetry in all its witnesses. The wanted list names what the shelf cannot hold yet, and when each opens. The Buddhist seats set one canon in its several languages. The Pali Tipiṭaka is seated complete, the harvest the Dhammapada seat queued (02/17). The Mahāyāna sūtras and śāstras come in Sanskrit. The Chinese canon comes with Chan, Japan and Korea. The Derge Kangyur gives the same sūtras in Tibetan, so that the Lotus, the Diamond, the Heart and the Vimalakīrti stand on the shelf in Sanskrit, Chinese and Tibetan at once.

## Seat 29/01 — Jack Kerouac

*A declared absence: the statements of method, the novels and Mexico City Blues*

- Works: none held; the seat is a declared absence (no works held; 14 declared)
- Licence: The declaration is the archive's own, CC-BY-4.0. The works it names are not held.
- Lines: 0 in 0 text files (0 works)
- Normalization: None: the declaration is held as written.
- Scope: Declared, not seated: Jack Kerouac, The Town and the City (Harcourt, Brace, 1950), opens: 2046-01-01 if its copyright was renewed (a United States work published before 1964 needed renewal; the renewal is to be checked); Jack Kerouac, Essentials of Spontaneous Prose, in Black Mountain Review 7 (Black Mountain College, 1957), opens: 2053-01-01 if its copyright was renewed (a United States work published before 1964 needed renewal; the renewal is to be checked); Jack Kerouac, On the Road (Viking Press, 1957), opens: 2053-01-01 if its copyright was renewed (a United States work published before 1964 needed renewal; the renewal is to be checked); Jack Kerouac, The Subterraneans (Grove Press, 1958), opens: 2054-01-01 if its copyright was renewed (a United States work published before 1964 needed renewal; the renewal is to be checked); Jack Kerouac, The Dharma Bums (Viking Press, 1958), opens: 2054-01-01 if its copyright was renewed (a United States work published before 1964 needed renewal; the renewal is to be checked); Jack Kerouac, Essentials of Spontaneous Prose, in Evergreen Review 2.5 (Grove Press, 1958), opens: 2054-01-01 if its copyright was renewed (a United States work published before 1964 needed renewal; the renewal is to be checked); Jack Kerouac, Belief & Technique for Modern Prose: List of Essentials, in Evergreen Review 2.8 (Grove Press, 1959), opens: 2055-01-01 if its copyright was renewed (a United States work published before 1964 needed renewal; the renewal is to be checked); Jack Kerouac, Doctor Sax (Grove Press, 1959), opens: 2055-01-01 if its copyright was renewed (a United States work published before 1964 needed renewal; the renewal is to be checked); Jack Kerouac, Mexico City Blues (Grove Press, 1959), opens: 2055-01-01 if its copyright was renewed (a United States work published before 1964 needed renewal; the renewal is to be checked); Jack Kerouac, Book of Dreams (City Lights, 1961), opens: 2057-01-01 if its copyright was renewed (a United States work published before 1964 needed renewal; the renewal is to be checked); Jack Kerouac, Big Sur (Farrar, Straus and Cudahy, 1962), opens: 2058-01-01 if its copyright was renewed (a United States work published before 1964 needed renewal; the renewal is to be checked); Jack Kerouac, Visions of Cody (McGraw-Hill, 1972), opens: 2068-01-01; Jack Kerouac, Selected Letters, 1957–1969, ed. Ann Charters (the letter of 1958 to Donald Allen) (Viking, 1999), opens: 2040-01-01, seventy years after the author's death, for matter first published after 1977; the editor's apparatus under its own terms; Jack Kerouac, On the Road: The Original Scroll, ed. Howard Cunnell (Viking, 2007), opens: 2040-01-01, seventy years after the author's death; the editors' apparatus under its own terms. Wanted: the two statements of method first, in their first printings (Black Mountain Review 7, 1957; Evergreen Review 2.5, 1958, and 2.8, 1959), and the 1958 letter to Donald Allen in which the list was written; the renewal record of each work published before 1964, which decides when it opens. Until then the shelf describes the list and cites it by item number (Belief & Technique for Telepathic Prose: A Critical Edition, §7).
- Why seated: Jack Kerouac (1922–1969) is entered as wanted, at the operator's ruling of 2026-10-28 on the proposals of Belief & Technique for Telepathic Prose: A Critical Edition (§11). His two statements of method are the model the Footnote to Pearl names (Dead Letters, #1099, post #4, 10 May 2014): "Belief & Technique for Modern Prose", thirty items, written in a letter to Donald Allen in 1958 and printed in Evergreen Review in 1959, and "Essentials of Spontaneous Prose", printed in the Black Mountain Review in 1957 and in Evergreen Review in 1958, whose word for what spontaneous prose does to its reader, "telepathic", the Footnote takes into its title. His works are in copyright: those published before 1964 needed renewal, which is to be checked work by work; the later works run ninety-five years from publication.

## Seat 29/02 — Horace

*The poems in Latin, with the Ars Poetica*

- Works:
  - Horace, Carmina (Odes), books I–IV — Paul Shorey and Gordon J. Laing, Horace, Odes and Epodes (Chicago: Benj. H. Sanborn, 1919), via Perseus lat2

- Verified locus: Ars Poetica 1 — 'Humano capiti cervicem pictor equinam'
- Verified locus: Ars Poetica 453–476, the mad poet and Empedocles — 'sit ius liceatque perire poetis'
- Verified locus: Ars Poetica 465, Empedocles in Etna — 'Empedocles'

- Lines: 7,991 in 6 text files (6 works)
- Normalization: The TEI as fetched under original/; text/<slug>.txt reduced from the TEI by code: a heading line per textpart ('=== book 1 ===', '=== poem 1 ==='), one line per verse with its line number; the teiHeader, notes and apparatus left in the TEI.
- Scope: Horace's poems entire in Latin, six works in six TEI files at one pinned commit of PerseusDL/canonical-latinLit. The editions differ by work, as Perseus carries them; each is named with its file.
- Why seated: At the operator's ruling of 2026-10-28, on the proposals of Belief & Technique for Telepathic Prose: A Critical Edition (§11): the Ars Poetica is the genre's founding text, whose close (the mad poet in the pit, Empedocles in Etna, 453–476) the Footnote to Pearl distributes through its list. The shelf held Longinus (01/06) and no Horace.
- Files: [the seat](https://www.alexanarch.org/data/corpora/horace/) — [source.json](https://www.alexanarch.org/data/corpora/horace/source.json), [MANIFEST.sha256](https://www.alexanarch.org/data/corpora/horace/MANIFEST.sha256).

- Scope: Ovid's works entire in Latin as Perseus carries them, nine TEI files at one pinned commit of PerseusDL/canonical-latinLit.

- Why seated: At the operator's ruling of 2026-10-28, gathering the twenty-ninth seating as a pluriform bundle of the arts of poetry: Ovid seated entire. The shelf held no Ovid (the one occurrence of the name was the Ovid Press imprint of Pound's Hugh Selwyn Mauberley, 18/01).

- Normalization: Originals as fetched under original/ (TEI, Wikisource HTML as served with its revision id, Gutenberg text, Aozora XHTML in Shift_JIS, Internet Archive OCR layers and scans). text/<slug>.txt derived by code: TEI reduced to lines; Wikisource parser output with navigation, edit links and reference markers dropped (several pages of one work joined under '=== <title> ===' headings); Aozora main text with ruby readings kept in 《》 after their base; Gutenberg and OCR text with line endings normalized. No text corrected by hand. Drop capitals set as images or styled initials on Wikisource can fall out of the text layer (Darío's first word reads 'espués').
- Scope: Arts of poetry: treatises, prefaces, letters, manifestos and poems about the making of poems, chosen for range — one or more per tradition, from the Nāṭyaśāstra and the Great Preface to the Odes through Mayakovsky, Hagiwara and MacLeish. Copyrighted moderns and contemporary arts of poetry are declared in 29/06 (ars-poetica-wanted).
- Queued: Archibald MacLeish, “Ars Poetica”, Streets in the Moon (Boston: Houghton Mifflin, 1926): public domain in the United States; not on English Wikisource, and no scan found this session; Rainer Maria Rilke, Briefe an einen jungen Dichter (Leipzig: Insel, 1929): both Internet Archive copies (the 1932 printing) are access-restricted (lending library), and no other copy was found; Moses ibn Ezra, Kitāb al-muḥāḍara wa-l-mudhākara (the Hebrew poetics in Judaeo-Arabic) and its Hebrew translation by B. Halper, Shirat Yisrael (Leipzig, 1924): no fetchable copy found this session; Zeami, Fūshikaden: no public-domain digital text found (Aozora Bunko and Japanese Wikisource hold none); Ibn Qutayba, al-Shiʿr wa-l-shuʿarāʾ: the Arabic Wikisource transcription is incomplete; Raimon Vidal, Razos de trobar: no fetchable copy found this session; Torquato Tasso, Discorsi dell'arte poetica: not found on Italian Wikisource; Geoffrey of Vinsauf, Poetria nova, and the twelfth- and thirteenth-century Latin arts are seated inside Faral (1924) only as OCR

- Why seated: Gathered for the next EA-CORPORA deposit at the author's direction ('an extremely pluriform ars poetica bundle … include telepathic prose'; 'take that extremely pluriform further globally, hebrew, sanskrit, korean'), around Belief & Technique for Telepathic Prose (#1715), Jack Feist's art of poetry, so that the comic ars poetica stands among the arts it answers.

## How the seats were made

Every seat was fetched in session and hashed into its MANIFEST.sha256, with a source.json recording edition, origin, licence, normalization and the loci verified in the text layer. The builders are under rebuild/corpora/ea-corpora-29/: build29.py (TEI, Wikisource, GRETIL, Gutenberg, Aozora, Internet Archive, Blogger, Drive and extract kinds, on the 27th seating's seat.py), pali29.py, tib29.py, absences29.py and absences29_wanted.py, with the spec generators. Wikisource pages are kept as served, with their revision ids. Large Internet Archive scans are held by reference, with the Archive's md5. The Pali canon is held as a byte-reproducible git archive of the repository tree at its commit. The NonCommercial GRETIL payloads are handled under the payload/record split of EA-CORPORA-02. Declared absences hold no text of the works they name. Terms follow the rules each seat states; they are not legal advice. 11 seats; 196 works; 876,386 lines; 564 files.
