COSP
Le COSP est présenté ici comme une organisation et une collection éditoriale contemporaine liée au stoïcisme traditionnel du troisième millénaire. Le badge COSP suit une provenance explicite, jamais une simple présence dans sa bibliographie.
Une publication de The Stoic Philosopher eJournal porte le badge parce qu’elle est issue de cette publication. Un texte écrit ou assumé éditorialement par le College le porte aussi.
Un livre rare écrit par un tiers et seulement référencé ou conservé par le COSP ne porte pas le badge. Sa présence reste visible dans la collection, avec son auteur et sa provenance propres.

Glassborow, Nigel · Nigel Glassborow explains that the Athenian intellectual ethos meant that "every aspect of the teachings of any of the schools of thought were gone over with a fine tooth comb". As such, he continues "the simplicity of the rationale of Zeno's teachings tended to be overlooked."
