CELT: Corpus of Electronic Texts

Sampling Declaration

All the editorial notes, comment and translation have been omitted.

Editorial Declaration

Correction

Text has been thoroughly checked, proof-read and parsed using NSGMLS.

Normalization

In general, the electronic text represents the edited text. In his edition, Thurneysen does not normalise or use macrons to mark historically long vowels. His practice in this regard has been followed in the electronic text. Compound words have, however, been hyphenated after CELT practice and this involves a departure from Thurneysen's practice. Thurneysen's corrections have been integrated into the electronic text. Lineation, absent in Thurneysen's edition has been supplied. Thurneysen renders & as et: this usage has not been retained.

Quotation

Quotations are rendered q.

Hyphenation

CELT practice.

Segmentation

div0=the whole text.

Interpretation

Names of persons (given names), and places are tagged. Terms for cultural and social roles are tagged. Numbers are tagged.

Canonical References

The n attribute of each text in this corpus carries a unique identifying number for the whole text.

The title of the text is held as the first head element within each text.

div0 is reserved for the text (whether in one volume or many).

The numbered page breaks and line breaks provide a canonical reference.
