Encoding

Project Description

CELT: Corpus of Electronic Texts

Sampling Declaration

The Irish text is taken from Revue Celtique. It comprises the editor's introduction in French, and an English translation of the same, based on a translation software, and further edited at CELT. It also includes corrections given in volume 44, p. 169–176, encoded using corr sic tags. It also includes the rhetorics omitted in the edition; these are not marked. In some cases explanatory matter accompanying the corrections, but not forming part of the translation, was included in footnotes. The French and English translations are available in separate files. 'Rhetorics' omitted in the edition were left untranslated.

Editorial Declaration

Correction

Text has been proof-read twice (once at CELT).

Normalization

The electronic text represents the edited text including Sjoestedt's corrections using corr sic="". Obvious typos in the introduction have been corrected silently at CELT; and missing punctuation added. The use of punctuation within and outside quotation marks (which differs in English and French) has been normalized according to English usage.

Quotation

Quotations are rendered q.

Hyphenation

When a hyphenated word (hard or soft) crosses a page-break, the page-break is marked after the completion of the hyphenated word (and punctuation).

Segmentation

div0=the tale; div1=the section.

Interpretation

Names of persons (given names) are not tagged in the main text, but in the introduction.

Canonical References

This text uses the DIV1 element to represent the section.
