Extra-canon as a public-domain study shelf
Open Extra-canon on the desk and you are not leaving the Bible window behind. The chapter stays available. The shelf is beside it.
What ships
Anointed Staff ships verified public-domain English for a growing library — Jubilees and 2 Baruch (Charles), Nag Hammadi titles from Zinner / Mattison dedications, Acts of Thomas (James 1924), Gutenberg Goetia and the 1830 Book of Mormon, Scheible Moses books, Thunder and Archons, plus Gospels.net / Enoch / Pistis writings. Each work carries a credit footer. Settings → About lists the rights posture in plain language.
They are not the sixty-six. The Apocrypha that belongs with Protestant Scripture already lives in the Bible window. Extra-canon is the wider historical shelf: Enoch, Sophia, Fathers, Hermetic study texts, world canons — labeled so a reader can tell which is which.
What it refuses
Modern copyright wrappers do not get a free ride. Brill / Coptic Gnostic Library Project English, sacred-name “restored” editions without a PD dedication, and ritual instruction packaging stay out. Hermetic and world shelves are historical study, not a how-to for seals or ceremony.
If a title cannot clear a rights gate, it does not ship. That is slower than scraping. It is the point.
How to use it on the desk
- Open Extra-canon from the rail while a chapter is open.
- Filter by shelf (Enoch, Sophia, Gospels.net, Fathers, Hermetic, …) or search.
- Read the credit on the work. Use Ask about this only when you want the local model — and only after you have turned a model on in Settings.
- Optional Quiet music is offline; it ducks under Hear and Listen.
