File Formats
This digitized version of the fulltext of Allan P. Farrell's English translation of The Jesuit Ratio Studiorum of 1599 is available in the Adobe PDF (portable document format) format. The pdf file can be viewed using Adobe Acrobat Reader 3.0 or higher. If you do not have Acrobat Reader, you can download it for free from www.adobe.com. Because the pdf file is large, download time may be extensive for those with slower network connections. An html version of the digitized text is also available.

PDF Navigation
For ease of navigation, the pdf document opens with a left-side navigation pane which includes bookmarks for sections of the document. Click on a heading to open to the first page of a section. To remove the Acrobat navigation pane from your display, click the button for "Show/Hide Navigation Pane" located on the Acrobat Reader toolbar.

PDF Searching
This digital version was produced as a pdf "original image with hidden text" format. The pages appear as facsimile images of the original print publication, but also have an underlying text layer which can be searched. To search, click on the "binoculars" icon on the Acrobat toolbar or select Find from the Tools menu. The search term and spelling must match the document entries. (Searching may be slow due to the large size of the pdf file. You may need to wait several minutes for a response to your search.)
