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

The numbers introducing each paragraph in Hibernica Minora (reproduced in the TLH edition) refer to the line numbers of the manuscript original.

Encoding principles:

Correction

TLH has corrected a minor printing error on p. 28 (l. 12) of Hibernica Minora by means of the <corr> tag; the reading of the printed edition is provided in the “sic” attribute.

Normalisation

This text has not been normalised.

Quotation

Quotations from Patristic and ecclesiastical authorities are encoded with the <q> tag. The ‘who’ attribute specifies the source of the quotation, where this is given.

Hyphenation

End-of-line hyphenation of the printed edition has not been retained.

Tags declaration:

The <foreign> tag is used to encode words and phrases in a language other than that of the main text. The ‘lang’ attribute identifies the language used in each such occurrence.
