Project Description

CELT: Corpus of Electronic Texts

Sampling Declaration

The editor edits the text from MS 1 and cites variants from MS 2; these variant readings are omitted in the electronic text.

Editorial Declaration

Correction

Text has been checked and proof-read. All corrections and supplied text are tagged.

Normalization

The printed text is a semi-diplomatic transcript of MS 1. The electronic text represents the printed text. The letters s and f, when lenited by dot, are rendered sh and fh. Words are segemented according to CELT practice.

Quotation

Quotation marks are rendered q.

Hyphenation

Soft hyphens are silently removed. When a hyphenated word (hard or soft) crosses a page-break or line-break, the page-break or line-break is marked after the completion of the hyphenated word.

Segmentation

div0=the tale; line-breaks; page-breaks and paragraphs are marked.

Interpretation

Names of places are tagged. Numbers are tagged. Names of professions and social roles 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.

Page numbers of the printed text are tagged pb n="nn". A canonical reference can be made from the page and line numbers.
