Project Description

CELT: Corpus of Electronic Texts

Sampling Declaration

The electronic text represents pp i–xxxvii and 1–39 of the printed edition.

Editorial Declaration

Correction

Introduction and main annals proof-read three times.

Normalization

The electronic texts represents the edited text. The editor does not elucidate his editorial policy. Some years are not in sequence in the printed edition, and some appear twice. To avoid duplication of div1 elements, all annal entries have been gathered under the year to which they belong, and brought into line, even though this affects the pagination. Gaps in the text are marked. Marginal additions are indicated as add place="margin"; additions by a second hand are marked add hand="S". One editorial note is tagged note type="auth" n="". For expanding the abbreviation on page 36, CELT is indebted to Christoph Cluse of Trier University.

Quotation

Quotations are rendered q.

Hyphenation

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

Segmentation

div0= the body of annals; the front matter contains the introduction, the back matter contains a postscript. Both of these are tagged as div. In the main text, div1= the individual annal (i.e. the entries for one year); div2= the individual entry in a given annal. Page-breaks are marked. Passages in verse are marked by poem, stanza and line.

Standard Values

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

Interpretation

Names of persons, groups and places are tagged.

Canonical References

This text uses the DIV1 element to represent the annal.

Refs: ENTRY (<DIV2>)

This text uses the DIV1 element to represent the annal.
