Sampling Declaration

The electronic text represents pp i–xxiv and 1-45 of the printed edition.

Editorial Declaration

Correction

Introduction and main annals proofread twice.

Normalization

The electronic texts represents the edited text. The editor does not elucidate his editorial policy. The dating is taken from the chronology of the compilers and has not been corrected; however, where there were obvious errors, date values have been added. Some years are not in sequence in the printed edition, and some appear twice. To avoid duplication of div1 elements, stray entries appearing under another year than that to which they belong, have not been given an extra entry. Marginal additions are tagged add place="margin". Text supplied by the editor is tagged sup resp="RB". Where personal, collective and place names are identified in the SGML/XML master file, the regularization is given in the reg attribute of the corresponding on/pn/ps tag.

Quotation

Quotations from written sources are rendered qt.

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 in an unnumbered div. In the main text, div1 represents the individual annal (i.e. the entries for one year); div2 represents 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.
