From the 1888 First Edition to the Online Edition.
Note: this is an ongoing project. Last updated: March 5, 2019.
Rationale: The purpose of these corrections and updates is to facilitate serious study. Updated terms allow students, academics or researchers to quickly and easily search for those terms online, with the correct and most common modern spellings. Consistent spelling of techincal terms allows for easy and complete word-searches throughout the text. Updated styling, i.e. in the formatting of book titles, etc. allows for easy referencing.
The updates and corrections are made throughout the whole text, including when the author is quoting from another work wherein a term may have been spelled differently. Thus it should be clear that this online edition is meant solely as a study and research aid, and not as a verbatim record of the original publication or of quoted works.
For a list of works referenced referenced in The Secret Doctrine, see the Secret Doctrine References.

Says Faigi Diwan |
Says Fayżī’s Dīvān |
Restructured misleading name, as per original reference. The original SD made it appear as though “Faigi Diwan” was a proper name, whereas “Fayżī” is the name and “Dīvān” is Persian for “poem.” Fayżī’s collection of poems is called “Ṭabāšīr-al-ṣobḥ,” often given simply as “Dīvān-i-Fayżī.” |

ילד |
ילד [or ילדה, yaldāh] |
Added the feminine form and its proper Hebrew transliteration, based on ISO 259, in square brackets (יַלְדָּה). H.P.B. gives the masculine form ילד (yeleḏ), whereas the feminine form is the proper Hebrew for the romanized “ilda” (or ialda, or yalda). While both terms in the compound are feminine, Ilda-baoth is typically referred to as a “son”, therefore we have left the masculine term as is. See also Isis Unveiled, 2:183 |

See also Isis Unveiled, 2:183 Note: the correct Hebrew term for “egg” is ביצה [bēṣāh], whereas ביוץ means “ovulation”. The latter is most likely the term H.P.B. sent to the printers in her MS., as it would be easy for a non Hebrew speaker to visually mistake the letter י for the letter ד if written by hand. Also, the term ביוץ, pronounced “biyutz,” is more closely connected to the pronunciation of the term “baoth”, with its pronouniation of “ba’ot” or “bo’oot”. See also the Hindi term “bahut” and the Sanskrit “bahu”. |

Changed the double-underline to bolded text. In Hebrew lettering diacritics for vowels (called niqqūḏ) are often shown below the letters, including the vowel sign “paṯaḥ”, which displays as a single underline. Hence, using a double-underline to emphasize a Hebrew letter, which was done in the original edition, may be misleading. We have thus dropped the double-underline and utilized bolded text to emphasize the characters here. |
