Project Description

CELT: Corpus of Electronic Texts

Sampling Declaration

The present text represents pages 1-135 of volume 2: Footnotes are retained and integrated into the apparatus, except where they do not provide substantial information. The Latin text is available in a separate file. The references to the corresponding pages of the Latin text in the Irish translation have been rendered as supplied text sup resp="JCa" infra 110-111 as there is no one to one correspondance in the structure of the Latin text and Irish translation.

Editorial Declaration

Correction

Text has been checked and proofread twice. All corrections and supplied text are tagged. Corrections to the text made by the author from the original text from manuscript P are marked corr sic resp="". The apparatus has been constructed from the variants selected by the editor.

Normalization

The electronic text represents the edited text. Text supplied by the editor is marked sup resp="JCa"; and where mentioned in the edition, the source for the supplied text is indicated. The hardcopy uses italics to denote expansions; in the digital text ex tags are used instead. As Latin text is printed in italics in the hardcopy, possible expansions used in Latin words remain unmarked.

Quotation

There are no quotations.

Hyphenation

Soft hyphens are silently removed. Words containing a hard or soft hyphen crossing a page-break have been placed on the line on which they start.

Segmentation

div0=the whole text; div1=the part; div2=the chapter; div3=the subsection. Paragraphs are numbered in line with the printed edition, page-breaks are marked pb n=""; milestones are marked mls unit="MS P page" n="".

Interpretation

Editorial additions in author's notes, such as 'etc.' are in square brackets. Reference to manuscript foliation appears beside each line of text in the hardcopy. The corresponding milestone has been placed at the start of the line. Line numbering on the odd pages has been brought to the left side of each line.

Canonical References

This text uses the DIV2 element to represent the chapter.
