Project Description

CELT: Corpus of Electronic Texts

Sampling Declaration

All editorial introduction has been omitted. Variant readings from other MSS and editorial notes are integrated into the apparatus.

Editorial Declaration

Correction

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

Normalization

The electronic text represents the edited text. The letters f, s with overdot are rendered fh, sh. Do + verb is written separately in the main text. The spelling in the apparatus is unchanged.

Quotation

Direct speech is marked q.

Hyphenation

Soft hyphens are silently removed. When a hyphenated word (hard or soft) crosses a page-break or line-break, this break is marked after the completion of the hyphenated word. Otherwise the editorial practice of the hard-copy editor has been retained. i.e. idiosyncratic spelling was left unchanged.

Segmentation

div0=the saga; div1=the section (= the editor's paragraph).

Interpretation

Where expansions of abbreviations are shown in italics in the hardcopy edition, this is not marked in the digital text. Names of persons (given names), places and group names are tagged. Page breaks are marked pb n="". Text supplied by the editor is tagged sup resp="KM". Editorial notes are tagged note type="comment" resp="KM". Poems are treated as embedded texts, with numbered line groups. The hard copy apparatus does not indicate the start of a phrase for which a footnoted annotation or variant is given; hence the extent of the lemma or phrase in the digital apparatus is sometimes tentative.

Canonical References

This text uses the DIV1 element to represent the paragraph.
