Project Description

CELT: Corpus of Electronic Texts

Sampling Declaration

The present text represents pp. 47–51 of Irish Texts 1. Footnotes are retained and integrated into the apparatus.

Editorial Declaration

Correction

Text has been checked and proofread twice. All corrections and supplied text are tagged. Corrections to the text made by the editor to the original text are marked corr sic resp="WW". The apparatus has been constructed from the variants selected by the editor.

Normalization

The electronic text represents the edited text, to which some normalization, marked sup resp="BF", was applied. Missing silent f was restored, apostrophs were added to such forms as d', 'ga, 'na, na'n. In words with a vowel or s in anlaut, h- and t- were hyphenated off. In the manuscript, long vowels are indicated only rarely and were left unmarked by the editor. Text supplied by the editor is marked sup resp="WW". Where mentioned in the edition, the source for the supplied text is indicated. The hardcopy uses italics to denote expansions; in the digital text ex tags are used instead.

Quotation

Quotations are rendered q.

Hyphenation

Hyphenation was introduced (see under Normalization.) Soft hyphens are silently removed. Words containing a hard or soft hyphen crossing a page-break or line-break have been placed on the line on which they start.

Segmentation

div0=the whole text; div1=the fragment; paragraphs are numbered in line with the printed edition, page-breaks are marked pb n=""/; milestones are marked mls unit="MS fo" n=""/.

Standard Values

Dates are standardized in the ISO form yyyy-mm-dd.

Interpretation

Medical and botanical terms, many of which are Latin loanwords (or Latin in the disguise of Irish spelling) have been tagged.

Canonical References

This text uses the DIV1 element to represent the part.
