Obsidian Publish Syntopicon Vault

By popular demand (mostly

It’s a read-only copy and it contains only the 102 Great Ideas and 3,000-ish keywords created by the original team and published in 1952. Personally, I think there are more keywords and possibly even more Great Ideas. And I’m lining the notes I make while reading the Great Books. But I’m doing that in my personal vault which, although it links to the contents of my Syntopicon folder is not being published along with it. In the future I’ll consider this, but in the meantime I thought fans of the Great Books might find this useful.
I look forward to your Obsidian Publish vault for all your posts on Substack. In the meantime, here's the link to your Syntopicon vault: [A priori and a posteriori - The Syntopicon - Obsidian Publish](https://publish.obsidian.md/syntopicon/A+priori+and+a+posteriori)
(The Welcome link still gives a 404 error, but can be accessed when on the site, for some strange reason - [Welcome to the Syntopicon! - The Syntopicon - Obsidian Publish](https://publish.obsidian.md/syntopicon/Welcome+to+the+Syntopicon!) -- by clicking on The Syntopicon title.)
