Jung Reading List → Russian Editions: Research Notes

Goal

For every book in the ISAP Zurich reading list (https://isapzurich.com/en/library/reading-list), find the Russian edition(s): correct Russian title, publisher, year, translator, ISBN, libgen download page (if exists), and РГБ (RSL) bibliographic record (if exists).

We work section by section. Sections 01–04 are COMPLETE (01: 38✅/2🔶/15❌; 02: 23✅/5🔶/29❌; 03: 38✅/30❌; 04: 12✅/1🔶/26❌). Sections 05–07 not started; 08–12 pending scope decision. Sections 1–3, 5–7 are skeletons for later.

Repository layout

AGENTS.md            # this file — plan, conventions, source status
CONTEXT.md           # misc findings that fit no other category
tools/               # search helpers (lg.py, rsl.py, sx.sh)
authors/             # CANONICAL: one dossier per author (shared across all sections)
sections/0N-<name>/  # one .md per BOOK (chapter-level list items are merged into the book file)
                     # + AUTHORS-EN.md = THIN INDEX (item → author → link to authors/<slug>.md)

Conventions

  • One file per book, named NN-<slug>.md (NN = order in the reading list).
  • Status marker at top of each book file:
    • ⬜ not searched yet
    • 🔎 searching in progress
    • ✅ RU edition(s) found
    • 🔶 partial (e.g. only an essay/chapter available in RU)
    • ❌ no RU edition found (verified)
  • Book file contents: human-readable editions table + raw RSL JSON block + libgen edition URLs (https://libgen.vg/edition.php?id=... — contains download links; direct file links rotate, don't store them) + notes (identity check, RU↔EN title pairing source).
  • Author dossiers (authors/<lastname>-<firstname>.md) are the CANONICAL home for identity, shared across ALL sections (same author can appear in 01, 04, …). One dossier per PERSON, slug <lastname>-<firstname> (lowercase, hyphens). Hold: dates, RU name candidates (all plausible transliterations, German names often have several: Нойманн/Нойман/Нейманн), the list items that cite this author (sec # + status), verified RU works with EN mapping, homonym warnings.
  • sections/0N/AUTHORS-EN.md is a THIN INDEX only — table item(s) → author → link to ../../authors/.md``. It must NOT duplicate identity data (no RU-name analysis, no RU works table). If an author appears in two sections, the dossier is written once and both section indexes point to it. Cross-section homonym traps (e.g. the two different "Alice Miller"s) get their own dossier + a warning in both.
  • Commit per completed book (or when meaningful author info is gained), message like: sec04: <book> — <finding>.
  • Update CONTEXT.md for anything useful that fits no category.

Sources and their status (verified 2026)

1. РГБ (Russian State Library) via libgen.vg biblioservice — PRIMARY for existence + editions

  • Tool: tools/rsl.py "Full Name" (JSON, polite, 3s between pages)
  • Raw URL: https://libgen.vg/biblioservice.php?value=<query>&type=rsl&format=json
  • Rich records: title parts, author with life dates [1905-1960] (great identity anchor), translator, publisher, city, year, pages, ISBN, series, UDC tags, even TOC field.
  • Limitations: no pagination (fixed first page) → always query by full first+last name for people, or 2–3 distinctive words. Loose matching (searches author AND title fields).
  • Other type= values on this mirror are dead: worldcat, googlebooks, isbndb, udc (all return "Nothing found" even for control queries). type=isbn decodes ISBN structure: checksum error + registered publisher group name (e.g. 5-519 → «Клуб Касталия», 5-98712 → «Петроглиф») — cheap, unlimited; used by tools/isbnval.py as the structure layer.

2. libgen.vg full-text search — PRIMARY for readable editions

  • Tool: tools/lg.py "query" (whole words only, res=100, prints pagination hint)
  • Raw URL: https://libgen.vg/index.php?req=<query>&res=100
  • Requires a browser User-Agent (otherwise nginx default page / robot block).
  • Search semantics (verified): whole-word, case-insensitive. Stems do NOT work reliably (происхожден → 0 hits; full Происхождение → many). Multi-word = AND. → Use full inflected words (nominative, as stored in titles) and 2–3 distinctive words.
  • Author search works (req=Нойманн) but pulls homonyms — filter by first name in results.
  • Pagination: &page=N works.
  • Edition page: https://libgen.vg/edition.php?id=<id>.

3. cogito-shop.com — current Russian trade (Jungian/psychoanalysis specialists)

  • URL: https://cogito-shop.com/search/?q=<query> (param is q, not query)
  • Matches author AND title (fuzzy — «исцеляющее сновидение» missed, «Майер» hit). Good for "is it sellable now in RU".
  • Product pages work with plain curl (2026-09-19): «Характеристики» block in HTML — Автор / Издательство / Формат / Вес / Тип обложки / Кол-во стр / Год / ISBN / Код. Search URL = /search/?q=<author>, product link = /catalog/<cat>/<slug>/.

4. SearXNG (local) — cross-verification

  • Tool: tools/sx.sh "query" (JSON API at http://localhost:8888; the web_search tool blocks localhost)
  • Use to verify RU↔EN title pairing in a third party's words, resolve transliterations.
  • Keep queries ≤ 3–4 words; «…» quotes only on distinctive RU titles. Unstable relevance — drop junk queries, don't retry blindly.
  • Engine status (2026-09-19): container searxng (docker, config ~/.searxng/settings.yml → mounted /etc/searxng/settings.yml). Currently google only: bing is BLOCKED (responds but ignores query — random promo junk), brave dead (403), duckduckgo CAPTCHA, wikipedia/wikidata dead/timeout — all disabled in config. Diagnosis: docker logs searxng | grep -oE '(ERROR|WARNING):searx.(engines|network).[a-z_]+' | sort | uniq -c
    • per-engine test curl --get :8888/search --data-urlencode 'q=...' --data-urlencode format=json --data-urlencode 'engines=google'. Fix = mark engine disabled: true in settings.yml + docker restart searxng.
  • Always pass explicit language=ru / language=en (user-confirmed fix; per-request, config stays multilingual).

5. ru.wikipedia / en.wikipedia — author dossiers

  • ru-wiki articles often have «…на русском» sections listing actual RU titles.
  • en-wiki for the EN bibliography (identity anchor: 3–5 flagship titles).

6. livelib.ru author pages — all RU works of a known author

  • e.g. livelib.ru/author/<id>-<slug> lists every RU edition (server-rendered, scrapable).
  • Author ID: find via SearXNG site:livelib.ru <author>. The /search page is JS-only (nope).
  • Publisher pages /publisher/<id>-<slug> = the publisher's full book list (server-rendered, book links /book/<id>-<slug> carry title + author slugs) — cheap reverse publisher sweep. Example: /publisher/2076-medkov-s-b (Медков С. Б. — small esoteric press w/ Jung line).

7. cogito-shop person pages — shop stock per author

  • cogito-shop.com/person/<first>_<last>/ (transliterated, first-name first, e.g. /person/mariya_luiza_fon_frants/, /person/yaffe_aniela/).
  • Slug discoverable from the shop's search page (results contain person links) or guessable.
  • Lists every edition the shop carries (title variants!). Product pages lack full metadata in HTML (JS-rendered) — use RSL/livelib for publisher/year/ISBN.

8. GNB SPb (State Public Library of St. Petersburg) catalog — SECONDARY bibliographic source

  • URL: https://www.gbs.spb.ru/ru/search/detail/?id=<hash> (rich GOST records: title, responsible parties incl. translators, publisher w/ full legal names, year, pages, ISBN, notes like «Др. кн. авт.»)
  • Complements RSL: RSL (RGB) misses some small-press editions (e.g. Pattis-Zhoya «Аборты…» Т8/ЦГИ 2017 is in GBS but NOT in RSL). Query via SearXNG site:gbs.spb.ru <author>.

9. chitai-gorod.ru / ozon / labirint — trade retail pages

  • chitai-gorod author pages list RU works (some noise). Product pages: CRW works (2026-09-19) — «Характеристики» block: Год издания / Кол-во стр / Переводчик / Издательство / ISBN. Plain curl gives nothing (JS). Find product IDs via SearXNG site:chitai-gorod.ru "<RU title>".
  • labirint.ru book pages work with plain curl — «Характеристики» block after

    (publisher, year, pages, translator, ISBN). Labirint SEARCH is anti-bot (text= ignored).

  • Ozon product pages: blocked from curl (redirect loop) AND via CRW (FAB challenge 2026-09-19); fetch_content also fails. Use SearXNG OZON snippets instead.
  • vse-svobodny.com — works with Cookie: beget=begetok (anti-bot challenge, 2026-09-19); product pages carry publisher/year/pages.

10. flibusta — big e-book library. .su = server-rendered search; .is = OPDS + direct downloads (user fixed access, 2026-07-16)

  • .is OPDS (preferred): Tool tools/flib.py:
    • flib.py authors "query" → /opds/search?searchType=authors&searchTerm=… (id, name, book count)
    • flib.py books "query" → searchType=books (id, title, author, year, format, translator from annotation)
    • flib.py author <id> → /opds/author/<id>/alphabet — book list (20 per page!)
    • flib.py authorall <id> — follows rel="next" pages (/alphabet/1, /2, …) to the end — always use authorall (Jung a/5272 = 128 books; the bare feed shows only the first 20)
    • Author HTML: /a/<id> (e.g. a/57639 = фон Франц, a/118921 = Нойманн); book page /b/<id>
    • Direct downloads: /b/<id>/fb2|epub|mobi|html|txt (pdf/doc as «/b//download» links on the pages)
    • Quirks (2026-07-17): fb2+zip format actually returns a ZIP (unpack: 1 fb2 + cover inside); /b/<id>/pdf sometimes 302-redirects to the book HTML page (a ~20 KB stub) when the file isn't served directly — check downloaded «pdf»s with file, fall back to libgen (same editions usually there) or the fb2 twin.
  • Converter quirk (2026-07-18): /b/<id>/epub (or any fmt endpoint) on a book whose NATIVE format is pdf/djvu/doc may return the native file, not an epub — always magic-byte-check downloads (file); some «20 KB HTML stubs» are in fact real native files with the wrong extension.
  • .su = mirror of .is with reduced functionality (user, 2026-07-17) — use .is OPDS only. .su booksearch/?ask= exists but adds nothing; API endpoints blocked (api/search.php → 403).
  • Value: (1) RU full-text downloads for the download phase; (2) author-book-list = cheap author sweep; (3) negative verification (all same-name authors listed). Verified 2026-07-09 (.su): no «Выявляющий образ», no «Сэндплей» titles, no «Тест Дерево», no «Искусство и творческое бессознательное» (as titled). Flibusta search is fuzzy (whole-phrase not required).

10b. OpenAlex + Crossref (tools/oa.py) — Phase 0 identity/ISBN (free, no key, better than OL for modern academic books)

  • oa.py "Exact EN Title" (OpenAlex works: full author names, year, DOI, publisher), oa.py --crossref "Title words" (Crossref: ISBN list + publisher + year), oa.py --author "Last, First" (OpenAlex author entity), oa.py both "Title".
  • Verified 2026-07-17: Evers-Fahey full name "Karen Evers-Fahey" + Routledge 2016; "Coming into Mind" = Margaret Wilkinson (not Michael!) 9781317710578; "The Symbolic Quest" Whitmont 9780691213187 (Princeton).
  • Use in Phase 0 INSTEAD of / alongside OL; OL still primary for pre-1990 titles.

11. Open Library — the "English RSL" (author works lists, full names, ISBNs)

  • Tool: tools/ol.py "author:Lastname, First" or tools/ol.py 'title:"Exact EN Title"'
  • openlibrary.org/search.json?q=...&fields=title,author_name,publish_year,language,publisher,isbn
  • No key, no rate limits observed (1s between calls is polite). Aggregates all editions of a work into one doc. Best use: resolve full EN author names from initial-only list entries (title:"..." → author_name) and get the EN works list + ISBNs to feed Google Books.
  • RU coverage is sparse but REAL (romanized titles, e.g. «Chelovek i ego simvoly»); the search.json?isbn= facet works for RU ISBNs too. Don't use a language=rus filter — it under-reports. RU hunting still mainly RSL/libgen/flibusta/GBS SPb/Google Books.

12. Wikidata — identity anchors (life dates + OFFICIAL RU name)

  • Tool: tools/wd.py "Full Name"
  • wbsearchentities + wbgetentities: QID, P569/P570 (birth/death), EN/DE/RU labels, RU aliases. The RU label is the single most reliable spelling for RSL/libgen queries.
  • Only useful for Wikipedia-scale names (Jung, Neumann, Kandinsky, Jaffé, …); niche authors are absent — fall back to OL title search or publisher pages.

13. archive.org — EN full texts: search, metadata, downloads ("English libgen"; user-confirmed 2026-07-16)

  • Tool: tools/ia.py search "creator:(Carl Gustav Jung)" / title "Aion" / meta <id>
  • advancedsearch.php?q=...&output=json&fl[]=identifier,title,year,downloads,access-restricted-item,mediatype (Solr syntax; append AND mediatype:texts — creator: search is loose, includes images/misattributions).
  • archive.org/metadata/<id> → file list (Text PDF / EPUB / DJVU / FB3 + sizes) — pick the file, then direct download /download/<item>/<file> works (used for sec04 OCR verification; verified: Aion collectedworksof92cgju = CW9/2 full text, open, 344k downloads).
  • Uses: (1) EN full-text downloads for ✅ items (Jung CW volumes live here: collectedworksof*); (2) EN identity/metadata; (3) content verification (OCR _text.pdf → pdftotext, e.g. the Neumann 4-essay match). access-restricted-item: true = controlled lending (borrow, no direct download).
  • Item page: archive.org/search?query=creator%3A%22C.+G.+Jung%22 (web UI of the same index).
  • CarlJungCollectedWorks item (OPEN, found 2026-07-18) = Princeton CW set in one item: vols 1-18 (incl. 9/1, 9/2, 10=Kundalini 1996) + Jung Seminars 1 (Dream Analysis 1984), 520 (Zarathustra), 539 (Analytical Psychology 1925) + Children's Dreams 2012 + Zofingia Lectures + Synchronicity + Psychology of the Unconscious (Hinkle 1916). PDF + EPUB per volume, direct /download/CarlJungCollectedWorks/<file> works. Supersedes per-volume collectedworksof* items (many of those are borrow-only).

14. Google Books — book page via curl OR fetch_content (API is 429 without key)

  • books.google.com/books?vid=ISBN<13digits>: plain curl works — 200 + <title>"T - A - Google Книги" if indexed, 404 if not. Good ISBN validator incl. RU (АСТ/Эксмо/БукСМарт hit; small-press 404). googleapis.com/books API stays 429 without a key.
  • Keep volume LOW: Google may block agents on sustained querying (user warning 2026-07-15). Budget: a few dozen requests per session, 2–5s random pauses, never in tight loops; treat as an auxiliary cross-check, not a bulk source. If 429/403-redirect walls appear — stop and fall back to OL/libgen/RSL.
  • fetch_content on the same URL → richer metadata: full author/editor names, edition, series. Resolved Ottmann=Klaus, Goldstein=Ralph, Brutsche=Paul, Elder=George, Moon=Beverly, Killick=Katherine, Pennington/Staples, Rowland=Susan, Bolander=Karen, Acton=Mary via this or OL.
  • PagePlace preview PDFs (2026-07-17): many Routledge/T&F books have a public preview at api.pageplace.de/preview/DT0400.<ISBN13>_A<n>/preview-<ISBN13>_A<n>.pdf (~20–30 pp: title page + TOC — perfect for identity/series verification when the full text is closed; find the URL via SearXNG "<EN title>" preview pdf). Used for item 12 (Evers-Fahey, 9781317219583).

15. Shop directory (HSE bookshelf34 pattern) — where RU psychoanalytic books are sold

  • HSE «Книжный шкаф» (hse.ru/ma/therapy/bookshelfNN) = a DIRECTORY of shops, not a book list: NikBook (nikbook.ru — WBS shop, ?q= search is fuzzy/works), Когито-Центр, Скифия (skifiabook.ru — publisher/shop, JS catalog, has a full price list download), marketplaces.
  • NikBook Jungian finds (2026-07-09): Тоцци «Активное воображение в теории, практике и обучении», Конгер «Юнг и Райх. Тело как Тень», Эдингер «Библия и психе».
  • beta2alpha.ru — RU publisher (Tilda site; sells via Ozon seller beta-2-alpha); Jungian stock TBC.

16. Publisher sites — RU full texts and bibliographies

  • hi-human.org (Living Human Heritage RU) — publishes book forewords/sections as pages (source of the Neumann EN-works list with RU titles).
  • castalia.ru / castaliasilvasacra.ru (Клуб Касталия) — author articles + shop.
  • daimon-verlag.ch / chironpublications.com / spring-publications.com — EN Jungian presses (spring-publications unreachable from this box; use Google Books ISBN instead).

17. alib.ru — RU/KZ book marketplace, 3.2M listings (used + new, incl. small press)

  • Tool: tools/alib.py "query" (stem search! matches all inflections — unlike libgen).
  • Endpoint: https://www.alib.ru/find3.php4?tfind=<query>; query and pages are CP1251 (utf8 → mojibake). Phrase mode: double quotes. Also: author-first, year range, ISBN digits, price range. >Купить< links = listing count.
  • Value: catches small-press / out-of-print editions shops don't carry (found: Furth 2nd ed. 2014, Turner handbook 2015, Neumann КДУ/Маниф/Питер editions). Seller titles can be wrong — verify against RSL before trusting (e.g. «Челокес и миф» Kastaalia 2018 — not in castalia.ru catalog → seller error).
  • Also: alib.top (Ukraine), 33ob.ru (vinyl), amarka.ru (stamps) — sister sites.

18. Local CRW renderer (fastcrw.com, Firecrawl-compatible, localhost:3000)

  • Tool: tools/crw.py <url> [--html] [--wait N ms] — POST /v1/scrape {"url","formats":["markdown"]}
  • Use for JS-heavy sites curl can't read (soznanie.ast-academy.ru festival site rendered fine).
  • Limits: Ozon (FAB challenge) and chitai-gorod SEARCH are API/anti-bot protected — CRW returns nothing. chitai-gorod PRODUCT pages DO render via CRW (see source 9).
  • Insales shops (castalia.ru) don't need it: product data is server-side JSON-LD (curl OK).

19. NLR / РНБ (National Library of Russia) via Primo (primo.nlr.ru) + CRW

  • Tool: tools/nlr.py "query" — free-text search (all fields, words ANDed), page 1 (20 rows).
  • Search is client-rendered → the tool renders the search.do?fn=search&ct=search& vl(freeText0)=QUERY&vid=07NLR_VU1&mode=Basic&initialSearch=true URL via CRW and parses title/author/year/holding (+ doc IDs when the linked layout renders).
  • Full record (GOST description, incl. translators): CRW on display.do?tabs=detailsTab&ct=display&fn=search&doc=<07NLR_LMS#########>&displayMode=full&vid=07NLR_VU1 (plain curl gives only the shell — details tab is XHR).
  • Value: complements RSL — own St. Petersburg holdings + GOST records; author rows carry life dates and NLR auth IDs. Count line parsing is flaky — trust the parsed row list.
  • Verified 2026-07-09: all 35 section-04 surnames swept (see sections/04-pictures/SWEEP-R7.md).

20. RSL direct (aleph.rsl.ru, Ex Libris Aleph) — PARTIAL

  • find-a flow works: GET /F/-?func=file&file_name=find-a → parse action URL (session token) → POST func=find-b&find_code=WAU&request= → results 10/page with pagination.
  • Full record: follow the result row's full-set-set link (session-dependent); gives translator, series, ISBN, UDC (verified: Нойманн «Амур и Психея» МИФ 2024, ISBN 978-5-00214-519-5, пер. М. Виноградова).
  • Quirk: find_code WTI (title) and SYS (ISBN) return EMPTY 0-byte responses; only WAU (author) reliably works so far. libgen proxy (tools/rsl.py) still covers title/ISBN queries.
  • search.rsl.ru — same catalog, Yii app, no JSON API found (2026-07-09).

21. ISBN validation pipeline — tools/isbnval.py (2026-07-15)

  • Per ISBN: (1) libgen.vg biblioservice type=isbn — checksum + registered publisher group; (2) Open Library search.json?isbn= — title/author/year; (3) Google Books ?vid=ISBN curl — title tag, 200/404; (4) NLR free-text for RU misses. Random pauses 2–5s, resumable.
  • Verdicts: VALID (found w/ matching title) / STRUCT-ONLY (real ISBN, prefix registered, not indexed — small-press RU) / BAD-STRUCT. Output TSV: data/isbn-validation.tsv.
  • Found in sec04: 2 bad-check-digit typos (5-89613-003-6, 5-263-00368-2), 2 publisher-prefix mismatches (Ленанд vs URSS; Академический проект vs Азбука-Аттикус), 2 co-publishing prefixes (Петроглиф for ЦГИ 2020; Пальмира for Касталия 2025).
  • triumph.ru (РГБ ISBN search, user-provided): https://www.triumph.ru/html/serv/find-isbn.php?isbn=<13digits> (relative to the poisk-isbn.html page!) → returns links to РГБ/МГУ/РНБ/БЕН РАН/ГПНТБ catalogs pre-filled with the ISBN. Itself no data; МГУ (nbmgu.ru) results are JS-rendered, БЕН РАН (Koha) is scrapable but small collection. NLR absence ≠ ISBN invalid.
  • isbnsearch.org: nice per-ISBN pages (author/publisher/year) but rate-walls after ~10 requests ("Please Verify to Continue", no recovery in 7 min) — not for batches.

22. MGU Scientific Library (nbmgu.ru) — server-rendered, curl-able (2026-07-15)

  • Tool: tools/mgu.py "query" [FIELD] [pages] [method] or --multi "AUT:X" "TIT:Y". The "JS" advanced search is a plain GET: /search/?adv=1&q1=<q>&f1=<F>&v1=<M>&cat=BOOK[&p=N].
  • Fields: ANY/AUT/COA/TIT/KEY/RUB/YEA/PLA/PUB/SER/ISB/ISS/NBM; rows AND between q1..q3. Method v: 0=Слова (stemming, default) · 1=Словосочетание · 2=Начинается с · 3=Дословно.
  • "Всего: N" + GOST row (title/authors/notes) + "City : Publisher, Year" + shelf code + uid link. 20 rows/page, p=0-based; out-of-range p silently falls back to page 0 (dedupe by uid!).
  • ISB field NOT populated (0 hits, 3 formats × control ISBNs) — no ISBN search; use AUT/TIT/SER/PUB. storing.aspx?uid= page = holdings/order only (no full record).
  • Value: second RU catalog (complements RSL/РНБ), strong SER sweep (e.g. «Библиотека аналитической психологии» → full series list in one query), GOST rows w/ translators.
  • Anchor titles in result rows contain a raw > (title="Хранение
    Заказ") — regexes must not use [^>]+ across the anchor attrs.

23. bookvoed.ru — curl-able, ISBN in page title (2026-09-20, user-provided)

  • https://www.bookvoed.ru/product/<slug>-<id>: HTTP 200 with plain curl; <title> contains Название (Автор) (ISBN) — a fast existence + ISBN check. Full specs in HTML.

24. litres.ru book pages — curl-able JSON-LD (2026-09-20, user-provided)

  • https://www.litres.ru/book/<cat>/<slug>-<id>/chitat-onlayn/: HTTP 200 with curl; JSON-LD has name/author/publisher (translator/ISBN/pages often absent). «Кратко» (Culture-Multur abridgments) are distinct ISBNs from the originals — don't conflate. Good for title-variant discovery.

25. royallib.com / pda.coollib.in — free RU full text, curl-able (2026-09-20, user-provided)

  • royallib.com/book/<author>/<title-slug>.html — 200 with curl, annotation + text pages; pda.coollib.in/b/<id>-<slug>/readp?p=N — page-by-page text. Use for CONTENT verification (e.g. Eliade «Тайные общества» = Rites and Symbols of Initiation: preface = Haskell Lectures 1956, University of Chicago — fingerprint of the EN original). Both = download supplements.

26. book.ivran.ru + opac.liart.ru — small RU library OPACs, curl-able GOST records (2026-09-20)

  • book.ivran.ru/book?id=<N> — «Книги сотрудников ИВ РАН» DB: full GOST rows (title, editor, city/year/pages, ISBN). opac.liart.ru/record/<db>/<hex> — РГБИ (State Art Library) OPAC. Find via SearXNG site:book.ivran.ru / site:opac.liart.ru <author>.

27. maap.pro «Библиотека» — RU article translations of Jungian authors (2026-09-20, user-provided)

  • https://www.maap.pro/biblioteka/stati/ — МОСКОВСКАЯ АССОЦИАЦИЯ АНАЛИТИЧЕСКОЙ ПСИХОЛОГИИ publishes article-length RU translations (e.g. Stevens «От Юнга» = fragment of On Jung, author bio lists the standard RU titles: «О Юнге» 1991, «Нить Ариадны: путеводитель по символам человечества» 1999, «Двухмиллионо-летняя Самость» 1993). Value: (1) essay-level 🔶 status for ❌ books; (2) canonical RU title naming from the author bio.

28. triquadratapubl.ru (Три Квадрата) — publisher site, curl-able product pages (2026-09-20)

  • triquadratapubl.ru/product/<slug>/ — WPCOM product pages with full specs (publisher, ISBN, series, annotation). Kerényi «Мифология» (2012, 504 pp., ISBN 978-5-94607-150-5/ -260-1, ред. Клименко А., сост. И. Надь) = «Сборник статей по античной мифологии» — a compilation, NOT Essays on a Science of Mythology (item 03 stays ❌).

Catalog caching convention

Processed/scraper-unfriendly catalogs are cached under data/catalogs/ (committed, with source URL + date in the header) so negative verification stays re-runnable without re-crawling. Examples: cogito-yungianskaya-series-2026-07-17.md (30 pp. CRW crawl, 518 titles), litres-140409-2026-07-17.md, opp-misp-reading-list-2026-07-17.md.

Pipeline v3 (2026-07-17) — RU-title candidates & batch sweeps

  • tools/rutitles.py — the "diff, not search" tool:
    • build — rebuild data/ru-titles.jsonl from data/catalogs/* + preserve flibusta entries
    • addflib <authorId> — append flibusta.is authorall titles to the DB
    • translate "EN Title" — RU token bag via data/ru-dict.tsv (540+ EN→RU pairs, phrases first, observed Kogito/Castalia/Peter conventions) + list of UNTRANSLATED words (finish manually)
    • match "RU tokens" [N] / both "EN Title" — Jaccard over pymorphy3-lemmatized tokens (case endings handled: «великой матери» → «Великая мать» 1.25; order-agnostic)
    • DB (2026-07-17): 692 titles (Когито-518 + ЛитРес-24 + ОПП/МИСП-55 + flib a/5272, 57639, 118921, 122883, 193690, 193689)
    • Limits (honest): generic RU titles (Wolff «Введение в основы…») invisible — publisher sweep (Phase 2b) stays a separate phase. Translation ≠ identity: verify real hits.
  • pymorphy3 installed (user-site): lemmatization for RU token matching. ⚠ pymorphy2 is BROKEN on Python 3.12 (inspect.getargspec removed) — use pymorphy3 only.
  • tools/oa.py — OpenAlex/Crossref (Phase 0, see source 10b).
  • flibusta .su dropped from the search pipeline (mirror of .is, reduced functionality).
  • tools/sweep.py — batch driver for Phases 1–2 (per author/item: rsl + lg + alib + flib + cogito + SearXNG-OZON-snippet parse + rutitles diff; optional --nlr for НРБ via CRW, slow). Query log: data/queries.log (JSONL). Sweep output: data/sweeps/secNN/<nn>-<slug>.md.

Not usable / low value

  • libgen biblioservice worldcat/googlebooks/isbndb/udc (broken on this mirror)
  • imaton.com (МААП educational publisher, not translations)
  • bookmate.com (403 bot protection), gtmarket.ru (JS app, no HTML content)
  • other libgen mirrors (libgen.lol → error page; .vg works with browser UA)

Identity check protocol (MANDATORY before trusting a hit)

  1. Life dates in RSL author field (e.g. Нойманн, Эрих [1905-1960]).
  2. EN↔RU cross-mapping: the found person's other RU books must map to known EN titles (e.g. found «Страх феминного» + «Любовь и Душа» → EN Feminine + Love and its Opposites → same Erich Neumann).
  3. Co-publisher signature: known translation pipelines (Vakler/Рефл-бук 1990s, Касталия, Прайм-Еврознак, АСТ/ЭКСМО, Питер «Мастера психологии»).
  4. Content spot-check of the actual target title (open edition page / TOC) when equating an RU title with an EN title that sounds different (e.g. The Archetypal World of Henry Moore ⇄ «Искусство и творческое бессознательное» — verify it is about Moore).
  5. Homonym rejection: different first name / field / era → reject or mark ambiguous (trap found: Верена Каст ≠ Вернер Каст; «Каст» search returns Verena Kast books).

Workflow (per section) — v2 (2026-07-09)

Phase 0 — Full names + identity (authors/):

  1. Resolve every initial-only author to a full EN name: tools/ol.py 'title:"EN Title"' (author_name) → else tools/wd.py (QID + RU label) → else Google Books ISBN page → else publisher/review page. Write/extend the dossier authors/<slug>.md (EN full name, dates, RU name to query, name source); then add a one-line entry in the thin index sections/<n>/AUTHORS-EN.md linking to it. If the dossier already exists from another section, just append the new list item + link it.
  2. For big names: wd.py gives life dates + the OFFICIAL RU label (best RSL spelling).
  3. Build the transliteration matrix per author (2–3 variants: Нойманн/Нойман, Кох/Коч, Калфф/Кальфф, Ферс/Фёрт) — run every query with ALL variants.

Phase 1 — Author sweep (EN→RU): per author: rsl.py "<First> <Last>" → lg.py "<Last>" → cogito q=<Last> → flibusta ?ask=<Last> → livelib/chitai-gorod author page. Apply identity check. Fill author dossier.

Phase 2 — Title-gap sweep for still-unmatched books: rsl.py "<RU title words>" (check author field!), lg.py 2–3 whole-word title combos, cogito, flibusta by RU title, GBS SPb via SearXNG site:gbs.spb.ru.

Phase 2b — Publisher sweep (RU→EN, reverse direction): per Jungian RU publisher/imprint (Касталия, hi-human/Living Human Heritage, ЦГИ/Т8, Когито, Фантом Пресс, Азбука, Серебряные нити, Питер, Ваклер, Добросвет, Деметра, НикБук, Скифия, beta2alpha, Эксмо/АСТ психология): enumerate the full Jungian catalog (site search or RSL series queries: «Юнгианская психология», «Библиотека аналитической психологии», «Классики зарубежной психологии») → map every title to an EN original → backfill both missing items and future sections. This catches books author queries can never hit (generic titles like «Сборник статей», reworked titles).

Phase 2c — Community reading lists (oracles): ISAP Zurich, HSE (hse.ru/ma/therapy), МИСП, Jung Institute Moscow, education-psy.ru sandplay list, carljung.ru, koob.ru — these explicitly state which books have RU editions (or lack them). Scrape each, diff vs our ❌ list.

Phase 3 — Content verification (for suspicious candidates): when an RU title's mapping to an EN title is not obvious, verify 1:1 against the EN original: archive.org OCR text (TOC / editorial note) vs RU essay/chapter list (koob/livelib/preview). Example: Neumann «Сборник статей» = Art and the Creative Unconscious: Four Essays (4/4 essay match).

Phase 4 — Edition collection: ALL editions from ALL sources (title variants!), full metadata (publisher/year/pages/translator/ISBN) — prefer RSL/GBS SPb records (GOST) over shop data.

Phase 5 — Book notes + commits (one commit per completed book or meaningful author gain).

When a section is complete, its SUMMARY.md must contain a consolidated "Publication status at a glance" table (one row per reading-list item) with these columns: # | EN book | EN ISBN | RU book | RU ISBN | DL EN | DL RU. This is the single quick-reference view — it records not just ISBNs but, for each item, whether the EN original and the RU translation are actually downloaded (file count + format, e.g. "5 pdf", "2 fb2", "1 djvu", "1 doc", or "sec04: N pdf" for cross-section items, or "— (restricted)" / "— (absent)" when not downloadable). Legend for ISBN columns: ✅ = ISBN found; ⚠ = published but no ISBN (not stated / new ed. / OZON-prefix only / truncated); ❌ = no such edition (verified absent); — = the book itself has no such edition (essay / Standard Ed. vol / pre-ISBN). End the table with a one-line totals row (DL EN / DL RU file counts). Cross-check the DL columns against the section's downloads/<nn>-*/MANIFEST.md so the two never disagree.

Negatives gate (before ❌): author sweep (RSL + libgen + cogito + flibusta) + one title-level SearXNG + livelib author page + one shop/retail check. Log every RU query in MISSING.md.

Special cases:

  • Jung's CW volumes: translated and widely available — don't deep-search; note the RU volume for the item (CW15 = «Дух в человеке, искусстве и литературе», Харвест 2003; Red Book = «Красная книга (Liber Novus)», Касталия 2025, trans. О. Комков).
  • Essays/chapters (e.g. Jaffé in Man and his Symbols): mark 🔶 if only the parent book/anthology is available in RU.

Politeness

  • ~4s between libgen requests, ~3s between RSL pages, ~2s between shop requests.
  • All tools cache nothing by default; reruns are fine but avoid duplicate queries in a batch.

EN original sweep (soft libgen queries) — validated 2026-09-20 (sec01: +50 files)

Exact full-title libgen queries miss a lot (indexed titles vary: reprints, e-books, variants). The validated approach for closing the EN download gap of a section:

  1. Build the gap list from downloads/0N-*/MANIFEST.md («EN full text unavailable / not present» block) + SUMMARY Table 3 DL EN column (rows with «— (restricted)» / «—»).
  2. Soft libgen queries, 2–3 rounds (author-centric, not title-guessing):
    • round 1: <author surname> <1–2 distinctive title words>;
    • round 2 (0-hit items): <author surname> alone, filter results by title/first name;
    • round 3: alternate wording (shortened title, co-author, publisher word). Whole-word matching still applies (full words, case-insensitive). tools/lg.py prints (unparsed…) on 0-result pages — treat as 0 but confirm once with raw curl grep edition.php?id=.
  3. Collect candidates → batch metadata: https://libgen.vg/json.php?object=e&addkeys=*&ids=<comma-list> (≤10 ids) → files dict gives f_id+md5 per file; then object=f&addkeys=*&ids=<f_ids> for extension/filesize. Filter by year/edition to match the reading-list book (identity check: title + author + era; e.g. SE15 vs SE22 look similar in truncated titles).
  4. Download queue (serial): tools/lgdl.py dl <f_id> <outdir> <name>; resume works via .part (curl -C -); the tool retries with fresh get.php keys. Huge files (>100 MB) can crawl at ~10 KB/s on libgen CDN (random stuck offsets) — let it stall-detect, or abandon in favor of another edition of the same book (e.g. Great Mother: 643 MB Princeton 2015 abandoned → 64 MB Bollingen 1991).
  5. Monitor-kill trap (2026-09-20): NEVER pkill -f "lgdl.py" (or any pattern that appears in the queue bash's own command line) — it kills the queue itself. Kill only the worker by comm: ps -eo pid,comm,cmd | awk '$2=="python3" && /tools\/lgdl/ {print $1}' | xargs -r kill.
  6. Verify after: magic bytes (%PDF / PK\x03\x04 for epub; discard HTML stubs) + pdfinfo page count for small files — 2–14 pp «pdf» are fragments/essays, keep but mark «фрагмент» in MANIFEST (e.g. Way of All Women 1933 = 2-pp, Self in Transformation = 14-pp JAP essay).
  7. archive.org (ia) as complement for trade-restricted items: tools/ia.py search "…" → open items only (RESTRICTED = borrow-only). Jung CW: single open item CarlJungCollectedWorks (vols 1–18 + seminars, PDF+EPUB, direct /download/<item>/<file>).
  8. Docs to update after: SUMMARY Table 3 DL EN + totals row, MANIFEST (EN section with lg f_id / ia item per file; «not downloadable» list), per-card line «EN downloaded (date): — » (or «EN full text: NOT FOUND (date, 3 rounds)» for the true gaps), CONTEXT.md note. One commit per section.

Result sec01: 50 files from 58 missing (8 genuinely absent: 13, 16, 38, 42, 48, 50, 52, 54 + 643 MB 24a replaced by 1991 twin).

Download phase conventions (user rule, 2026-07-18)

  • EN originals: libgen.vg FIRST (the EN collection is bigger than the RU one — most trade academic books: Routledge/Karnac/SUNY/Princeton/etc.), archive.org second (CW/Philemon open scans, content-verification OCR, items libgen lacks). Flibusta for EN: tried 2026-07-18 — OPDS search is effectively RU-only (EN titles 0, author search returns only Cyrillic pages); a one-shot exact-title probe is cheap, don't plan on it.
  • RU translations: libgen.vg + flibusta.is (flib = fb2/epub when libgen has only scan-pdf or nothing).
  • Per language, format priority: ALL pdfs if any pdf exists; else all fb2; else all epub; else all doc.
  • File naming NN-<slug>-<lang>-<edition>.<ext>; downloads/0N-<name>/ gitignored, only MANIFEST.md committed.
