Editorial Declaration

Correction

Text has been checked and proof-read twice.

Normalization

The electronic text represents the edited text. In Meyer's edition, the acute accent and the macron are used to mark long vowels. Both are retained. Editorial footnotes are tagged note type="auth" n="". The editor's corrections are marked corr sic resp="KM", with the erroneous form retained in the 'sic' attribute. Text in Latin is indicated. Names are capitalized in line with CELT practice.

Quotation

There are no quotations.

Hyphenation

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

Segmentation

div0=the tale; div1=the editor's paragraph. Page breaks are marked pb n=""; foliation is marked mls n="" unit="folio". Poems are treated as embedded tetxs, with line-groups marked and numbered.

Names are not tagged, nor are terms for cultural and social roles. Such encoding is envisaged in a revised edition.
