Project Description

CELT: Corpus of Electronic Texts

Sampling Declaration

All the editorial text with the corrections of the editor has been retained. The translation and editorial comment have been omitted.

Editorial Declaration

Correction

Text has been taken from the editor's digital copy and thoroughly checked, proof-read and parsed using NSGMLS.

Normalization

The electronic text represents the edited text.

Quotation

There are no quotations.

Hyphenation

There are no hyphenated words.

Segmentation

div0=the chronology. Line-breaks are marked.

Interpretation

Names of persons (given names), and places are tagged. Apparently significant spaces in the MS are tagged using space. Tagged bold represents MS features reported by the editor. This is ornate prose of a rhetorical kind with rhyme and cursus rythyms: as in the print text, italics suggest rhyme; grave and acute accents represent cursus rhythms.

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).

The numbered line-breaks provide a canonical reference.

Profile Description

Created: By an Irish monastic scholar on the death of Mo Sinnu maccu Min, abbot of Bangor (c.610)

Use of language

Language: [LA] The text is in Latin.
Language: [GA] Two personal names and two place names are retained in Old Irish.
