My soul suffers
and writhes

A note on method

Transcriptions of the original typescripts and printed sources were produced with a vision-language model (Qwen3-VL) and are reviewed and corrected on an ongoing basis; some errors will remain.

English translations from the Italian are machine-generated with OpenAI GPT-5.6. They are offered as a reading aid and are unrevised; they are not authoritative scholarly translations and should not be quoted as such. The Italian originals remain the texts of record.
