Project Description

CELT: Corpus of Electronic Texts

Sampling Declaration

All editorial introduction, translation, and commentary have been omitted. The electronic text represents the author's restored text in all respects except that the editor's marking of this complex text for metrical features (rhyme, alliteration, and synizesis) is not reproduced; elision and syncope, however, are represented by using the entities defined in the CELT document type declaration subset for underdotted vowels.

Editorial Declaration

Correction

Text has been checked and proof-read, and the markup parsed using NSGMLS.

Normalization

The electronic text represents the edited text.

Quotation

There are no quotation marks in the text.

Hyphenation

There is no hyphenation.

Segmentation

DIV0 encloses the whole volume. Metrical features are marked and numbered with lg and l.

Interpretation

Names of groups of people are marked with on, and placenames are marked with pn.

In this multi-lingual poem where Hebrew words are hellenized and subsequently (but not always) latinised, and in which Greek words are latinised (but not always), language usage has not been separately tagged.

Canonical References

The n attribute of each text (1) element in the CELT corpus carries a unique identifying number.

The title of the text is held as the first head element within each text.
