Project Description

CELT: Corpus of Electronic Texts

Sampling Declaration

The electronic text represents even pages 56–110; pages 119–120 containing a description of glám dicinn and Stokes' translation thereof are appended. The English translation is available in a separate file.

Editorial Declaration

Correction

Text has been proof-read three times.

Normalization

The electronic text represents the edited text including footnotes. Addenda and Corrigenda from p. 306 are incorporated. The ae-ligatures have been rendered ae. Expansions are marked ex; text supplied by the editor is marked sup resp="WS"; footnoted editorial corrections either take the form of corr sic="" resp="WS" or sic corr="" resp="WS". Where Stokes' comments could not be accommodated within these tags, note type="auth" n="" has been used. Text omitted from the printed edition for obscurity or other reasons is indicated by gap. When displayed in HTML format (due to the its constraints) both expansions and supplied text appear in italics. When in doubt, users are asked to consult the SGML/XML master file to identify the markup.

Quotation

Quotations are rendered q.

Hyphenation

When a hyphenated word (hard or soft) crosses a page-break, the page-break is marked after the completion of the hyphenated word (and punctuation).

Segmentation

div0=the saga; div1=the section, corresponding to Stokes' paragraph. Metrical quatrains are marked and numbered and individual lines of verse are marked. Metrical texts are embedded as separate texts in the relevant entries. The appendix to the electronic file contains an extract from the Book of Ballymote, p. 284, 24–51 (pp. 118–120 of Stokes' article). It describes the making of a glam dicinn, and is accompanied by Stokes' translation.

Interpretation

Names of persons (given names) and places are not tagged. Some Irish terms are tagged term in the appendix.

Canonical References

This text uses the DIV1 element to represent the section.
