Notes:

Due to current browser limitations, certain characters in printed editions may not always be similarly displayed in the electronic version. In such cases, the following representations have been chosen for display purposes:

characters with punctum delens or other marks indicating lenition (this applies to f, s, m and n) are displayed with following h and underlining: thus fh, sh, mh and nh
insular ampersand (‘Tironian et’) is displayed as &

This text contains editorial emendations of MS readings. For the mark-up of such emendations, see sub heading Correction below. In the HTML format, these emendations are encoded as hyperlinks. Clicking the links will display the MS readings in a pop-up window.

To facilitate searching, macrons used to indicate long vowels in the printed edition have been omitted from the html display.

Encoding principles:

Correction

In his printed edition, Carney has in one instance emended the reading of the MS. This emendation is encoded in TLH by means of the <corr> tag with two attributes, namely the “sic” attribute, indicating the reading of the MS, and the “resp” attribute, indicating editorial responsibility. TLH has not made any alterations to the text of the printed edition.

Normalisation

This text has not been normalised.

Quotation

Quotation marks enclosing direct speech, whether single or double in the printed source, are encoded in TLH with the <q> tag. The same tag is also used in situations where direct speech has not been explicitly marked by the use of quotation marks.

Hyphenation

End-of-line hyphenation does not occur. Hyphenation elsewhere in the printed edition has been reproduced in the electronic version.

Tags declaration:

The <expan> tag is used to encode text printed in italics to indicate editorial expansions of manuscript abbreviations.
The <supplied> tag is used to encode additions to the text made by the print editor or the editor of the electronic text. The “resp” attribute indicates the source of the supplied text: “p” indicates print editor and “e” electronic editor.
