Project Description

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.
