Project Description

CELT: Corpus of Electronic Texts

Sampling Declaration

The present text covers seven documents found the Irish State Papers. They were calendared separately under 1598, 1599 and 1601.

Editorial Declaration

Correction

Text has been proof-read once at CELT and parsed.

Normalization

The electronic text represents the edited text. "Apart from switching the first two documents, the rest have been put in the same order as they appear in the calendar. The rough and incomplete nature of the work, still plainly in the early stages of research by the author, is indicated in a host of ways. There are gaps on various pages for information to be filled in, a large number of interlineations including some on flaps pasted to the relevant page, deletions some of which were later reused elsewhere and blanks left for details such as Christian names to be added. The deletions are here shown crossed out whilst blanks are indicated by two hyphens. Where marginal annotations originally occurred, they have now been set adjacent in the body of the text in square brackets. Minor additions to make sense of the text in certain places have been underlined. All the documents are now fully transcribed. Commissions and letters inserted by the author that were summarized in the calendars appear in italics. The long list of Irish - mostly Ryans - in revolt in Tipperary and Kilkenny previously truncated is complete. Also omitted text, indicated by a long ellipsis in the calendar, relating to the colonists being stripped naked has been restored." (Hiram Morgan)

Quotation

Direct speech is indicated using q tags.

Hyphenation

Soft hyphens are silently removed. When a hyphenated word (and subsequent punctuation mark) crosses a page-break, this break is marked after the completion of the word (and punctuation mark).

Segmentation

div0=the group of documents;div1=the individual document; paragraphs are marked; ///page-breaks are marked pb n="".

Standard Values

Dates are standardized in the ISO form yyyy-mm-dd.

Interpretation

Names of persons (given names), places and group names are not tagged.

Canonical References

This text uses the DIV1 element to represent the document.
