Decem Libri Historiarum
As Wikipedia needs reliable citations, so do we here at Wikisource. The work that you have started to add requires to have a source for the text, ad we need to know the year of publication of the translation, so we can ensure that the work is in the public domain and available for us to reproduce. I have also added above information above about our proofreading process. — billinghurst  sDrewth  13:59, 15 July 2018 (UTC)

@Billinghurst alright, I did some research. Ernest Brehaut died in 1953 (less than 100 years ago). The book is not in the public domain. My apologies, Feel free to delete it. Koopinator (talk) 14:22, 15 July 2018 (UTC)
 * That is not the sole criteria, if it was published prior to 1923, we can still host it. We work to US copyright law only. Looking at archive.org shows that the work was published in 1916, and in America, which makes it hostable. I would think that we would prefer to have a fresh transcript using ProofreadPage than a copy and paste from elsewhere, but that is preference only, and I would suggest that we would use the English language name, as that is how it was published in that edition. — billinghurst  sDrewth  22:27, 15 July 2018 (UTC)
 * this may be something for Proofread of the Month, it is about 300+ pp, so achievable, and not overly complex proofreading with the right scan; also covers a subject matter in which we don't have a lot. — billinghurst  sDrewth  22:30, 15 July 2018 (UTC)
