Judaism
Five pillars of documented scholarship: the Tanakh in its own Hebrew and a public-domain English; the Talmud and Mishnah of the Oral Torah; the great tradition of commentary and midrash; the works of Jewish history; and the lives of the sages who carried the tradition from Sinai to the present. Every entry is sourced; nothing is invented.
