A series of edited primary texts from Europe’s twentieth century. Each volume presents a single document as it survives: photographic facsimile, diplomatic transcription, and English translation, with minimal editorial context for citation and use.
No. 1 Decalogue of the Ukrainian Nationalist — The 10 Commandments, 12 Traits, and 44 Rules
Many documents circulate as fragments, paraphrases, or unattributed quotations. This series restores the text as a whole and makes it usable: readable, citable, and explicit about what is original and what is editorial.
Documents of the Twentieth Century is published for historical and educational purposes. Editorial material is kept practical: provenance, transmission, bibliographic particulars, and minimal notes where clarification is useful.
Primary texts are reproduced for documentary use. Inclusion does not imply endorsement.
Volumes are prepared from surviving copies and related publications, drawing where relevant on archival catalogues and reliable digital facsimiles. Transcription preserves original spelling and punctuation. Translation aims for accuracy and clarity, with notes used sparingly.
