Project Description

CELT: Corpus of Electronic Texts

Sampling Declaration

The electronic text represents pages 1–124 of the edition. All the list of contents, introduction and acknowledgements have been omitted. Missing text supplied by the editor in the body of the work is tagged sup resp="COR". Editorial corrections entered in the body of the work are tagged corr; the original reading is kept in the sic attribute. In the case of editorial corrections suggested in the apparatus criticus at the foot of the page the manuscript reading is tagged sic and the suggested correction is kept in the attribute corr. Words editorially marked sic in the apparatus criticus and without any suggested correction are simply tagged sic. Changes of scribe are retained and marked handshift together with scribal sigla (for which see profiledesc below). Scribal glosses and annotations are marked add with appropriate attributes. Readings of the other manuscripts, cited in the apparatus criticus, have been ignored.

Editorial Declaration

Correction

Text has been checked and proofread twice. Any improvements will be credited to the scholars who submit them.

Normalization

The electronic text represents the edited text.

Quotation

Quotation marks have been tagged Q. The speakers are identified by a unique ID number.

Hyphenation

Hyphens have been inserted after mutated words with h- in anlaut and after occurrences of nasalisation. When a hyphenated word (hard or soft) crosses a page-break, the page-break is marked after the completion of the hyphenated word. Soft hyphens are silently removed.

Segmentation

div0=the whole work; div1=the individual texts; div2=sections of the individual text when these are marked, otherwise indicated or implied in the manuscript. Passages of verse occurring within text paragraphs are treated as embedded texts and stanzas are enumerated in the structural mark-up. The page-breaks of the edition and the folio numbers of the manuscript are marked, and so are the corresponding lines of the manuscripts Lebor na hUidre, Yellow Book of Lecan and O'Curry MS.

Interpretation

Names of persons, tribes, peoples, and places are tagged. Offices and titles (king, abbot, lord etc.) are not tagged, nor are numbers and dates. The text is rendered as it stands in Cecile O'Rahilly's edition.
