Saint Augustine instructs Francesco Petrarch on the ZKM
Critique my zettel. This one is an atomized idea from my reading of _Manguel, Alberto. A history of reading. 2014. _ It is longish at 436 words and includes AI help with translation, a Wikipedia link, the relevant quote, and my assimilation into my ZK.

I'm up for arguing any of the details of the content. I'm trying to make less and less of these #meta-ZK notes. This is one of two #meta-ZK… -

Re: How do you process historical sources with a Zettelkasten?

Re: Mathematical definition of Folgezettel
You pulled off a thorough discussion of your example by displaying an example. Not the easiest thing to do, but as you told us what you were doing, you did precisely that. Anyone commenting on your zettel format would only be picking around the edges. I'm referring to that "futzing, second-guessing, backtracking, and…
