*Notes*
Making this list was an incredibly useful exercise for my
study process! 😀
I left out lists of brief forms for common words,
common phrases, common business forms, etc which are
present in most chapters. The TOC is focused on locating
the presentation of theory principles, rather than on
presenting a complete faithful partitioning of the
material.
I often followed the names of sections as written in the
manual, but I also often added to them, or reworded them
for clarity.
I added IPA pronunciations for vowels.
TOC or Index? The manual has a very detailed index on the back.
Yeah, the index is nice, but I'm looking for a TOC. If you don't know of one off the top of your head Carlos, then I'll just go ahead and make it! 😀 Thanks!
The lack of a TOC seems to characterize most of the Anni materials. Not that it would be needed in all cases, but I've wondered why it wasn't included in some volumes where it would have provided a useful overview.
I don't remember seeing a TOC for the manual.
The 1916 Manual did though, and I find it an asset.
But again, this seems to be the case for Anni materials generally. Steven, good luck on the project!
Thanks Carlos and "Gregg student", here's the result! Let me know if you have any questions/corrections/suggestions whatever. I made it mostly for my own purposes, so sorry for any quirks.
This is really awesome! Thanks very much.
Offhand I would only suggest that on Unit 36, rather than "another list of brief" it might read "Special forms."
Well done!!
fixed. thanks much!
Thanks for this table. Awesome work! As you see, I took the liberty to convert the TOC into table format and put the page numbers on the right side.
Haha belated response – happy new year! Yes, that reformatting was great, Carlos – thanks much! It was easier for me to write it up in the .txt format but I agree the table format looks better for web display!
Cheers
Steven
