Project Description

CELT: Corpus of Electronic Texts

Sampling Declaration

The present text represents even pages 2–34 of the published edition. All textual notes are omitted. It is envisaged to include them in a future edition.

Editorial Declaration

Correction

Text has been proof-read twice.

Normalization

The electronic text represents the edited text. Expansions are marked ex. Names are capitalized in line with CELT practice. Text supplied by the editor is marked sup resp="CP".

Quotation

Direct spech is marked q.

Hyphenation

Hyphenation was introduced. Soft hyphens are silently removed. When a hyphenated word (hard or soft) crosses a page-break, this break is marked after completion of the hyphenated word.

Segmentation

div0=the saint's life; div1=the chapter. Plummer omits chapter number 5. This has been corrected in the electronic edition. The editor's sections are marked up as milestones mls since keeping them would have caused overlapping hierarchies when tagging the poetry. Page-breaks are marked pb n="". Foliation is tagged mls unit="folio" n="".

Interpretation

Names are not tagged, nor are terms for cultural and social roles.

Canonical References

This text uses the DIV1 element to represent the caibidil.
