Mutiny ReflectionsThe Books of the Mutiny
The books utilised to research Mutiny Reflections take many different guises. From district gazetteers and dispatches to autobiographies and biographies, burial ground lists and even works on surgery. For an event that rightly only lasted just over two years, bibliographers like Harold E. Raugh Jr. estimate that there are several thousand books, including hundreds of participant biographies, diaries, and official dispatches.

Alan J. Cain"Fihrist" [https://codeberg.org/ajcain/fihrist] is a console library+bibliography manager, which I wrote for my own use, and which I have made available in the (probably forlorn) hope that others might find it useful.
It aims at (1) speed, being entirely keyboard driven (Emacs-style keybindings), (2) simple integration into build scripts (e.g. exporting required metadata from the command line), and (3) bibliographic consistency.
The UI needs polishing, and the documentation is incomplete (although there is a tutorial/demonstration), but the core functionality is there and I use it to generate automatically Bib(La)TeX files for my books and articles.
It is named after the ‘Kitāb al-Fihrist’ [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al-Fihrist], a 10th-century catalogue compiled by Ibn an-Nadīm [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ibn_al-Nadim].
