Project Description

CELT: Corpus of Electronic Texts

Sampling Declaration

The present text represents pages 131–133 of the published edition. All editorial introduction (page 131), translation (pages 133–136) and notes have been omitted. All editorial additions are tagged add. The editor's restored text is rendered exactly. Instances where his restored text deviates from the MS are tagged and the MS reading is indicated in the tag corr sic="", but expansions, indicated by the editor in italic, are not marked within corr or its attribute sic. The editor uses a turned point to separate preverbs and particles from the verb proper. This is rendered as a hyphen. The apostrophe evidently omitted in quatrain 4, line 2 d eísi is restored. The elision of a in quatrain 5 line 3, in quatrain 6 line 3, and in quatrain 16 lines 1 and 4 is indicated by the entity a.

Editorial Declaration

Correction

Text has been thoroughly checked and proofread. All corrections and supplied text are tagged.

Normalization

The electronic text represents the edited text. The editor's divisions of words have been adhered to. The editor's expansions of MS abbreviations, rendered in italic by him, are marked except in the case of expansions within the tag corr and its attribute sic. All compound personal names and initial nasalizations are segmented in accordance with CELT practice.

Quotation

Quotation marks are rendered q.

Hyphenation

Soft hyphens do not occur in the edited text.

Segmentation

div0=the whole text. Verse (which are always quatrains) are marked lg. Page-breaks are marked.

Interpretation

Names of persons (given names), groups (dynasties, tribes, peoples etc.), places are tagged. Offices and titles (king, lord, poet etc.) are tagged. Numbers are tagged. A selection of cultural activities is 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 (whether in one volume or many).

Page-numbers of the printed text are tagged pb n="nn". A canonical reference can be got from the n value of lg.

Profile Description

Created: By Eochaid Eolach ua Céirín, associated probably with Monasterboice and author of a Dindshenchas poem on Loch Garman (see above). Date range: 1000–1100.

Use of language

Language: [GA] The text is in Middle Irish.
