What it is
Maxwell-Latex-Books is the edition layer of the Maxwell project. Despite the repository name, there is no LaTeX edition in that tree. What you will find are searchable Markdown indexes, structured OCR data, and computational architecture maps for A Treatise on Electricity and Magnetism.
The README tracks three published editions. The modernized working set is the 1892 Third Edition, Parts I–IV (electrostatics through electromagnetism). First-edition (1873) raw OCR lives in the archive; the 1881 second edition is marked not yet processed.
Why it matters
The Python library can be wrong about what the math does. This repo can be wrong about what article 528 is. Keeping those failure modes in separate trees is the whole point of the three-repo split.
I use it so I do not get lost: article numbers, titles, original pages, and maps of how the book is structured — including a “master synthesis” note on a modern computational architecture for the classical text.
How it works
Version-3 Markdown files cover Parts I–IV of the third edition. Separate architecture-map documents sit beside them, plus structured OCR JSON. The README is the index of that layout; start there rather than assuming the filename means TeX.
