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 &
the Latin abbreviation for vel is displayed as nó
e with an ogonek (i.e. ‘ę’) is used to represent MS tall e
the ‘return sign’ which appears from time to time in the MS is displayed as ∞. Text occurring after this symbol is intended to be read at the end of the line following.

Editorial declaration:

The electronic text is transcribed from the Book of Lismore. The electronic version is a diplomatic version of the manuscript original. Punctuation, word division and capitalisation are as in the manuscript. Contractions are expanded where possible and the expansions are tagged <expan>. MS q is transcribed as c in two instances where it occurs.

The text is tagged for folio and line breaks.

Tags declaration:

The <expan> tag is used to encode text printed in italics to indicate editorial expansions of manuscript abbreviations.
