Notes:

For clarity the TLH editor has also inserted them in the translation in the interests of easier comparison with the Irish text.

Encoding principles:

Correction

This digital edition incorporates the addenda and corrigenda to the Bodleian Dinnshenchas printed by Whitley Stokes on p. 496 of Folklore 4 (1893).

Normalisation

The electronic edition represents the text of Whitley Stokes’ printed translation.

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 of the printed edition has not been retained, and wherever a page-break occurs in the midst of a hyphenated word, the break is marked after the end of the hyphenated word.

Tags declaration:

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.
