Project Description

CELT: Corpus of Electronic Texts

Sampling Declaration

All editorial introduction has been omitted. The more important variant readings from other MSS and editorial notes (note type="auth" n="") are integrated into the apparatus.

Editorial Declaration

Correction

Text has been checked, proof-read twice and parsed using NSGMLS.

Normalization

The electronic text represents the edited text.

Quotation

Direct speech is marked Q.

Hyphenation

Enclitics and h in anlaut have been hyphenated off. When a hyphenated word (hard or soft) crosses a page-break, the page-break is marked after the completion of the hyphenated word. Soft hyphens are silently removed.

Segmentation

DIV0 is reserved for the text (whether in one volume or many), DIV1 marks the editor's paragraph.

Interpretation

Expansions of abbreviations (italicized in the hardcopy) are marked ex. Names of persons (given names), places and group names are tagged. Page breaks are marked pb n="". Text supplied by the editor is tagged SUP resp="WS". Some manuscript variants are integrated into the apparatus. Poems/rhetoric passages are treated as embedded texts, with line groups numbered and a caesura marked by |. Footnotes have been integrated in the apparatus, tagged app. The hard copy apparatus does not indicate the start of a phrase for which a footnoted annotation or variant is given; hence the extent of the lemma or phrase in the digital apparatus is sometimes tentative. Also where there are omissions in the other manuscripts this is noted in the note or in the apparatus reading noted as [om.].

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.
