Sampling Declaration

Text represents odd pages 3-519. Corrigenda are integrated.

Editorial Declaration

Correction

Text has been proof-read three times and parsed using NSGMLS.

Normalization

The electronic text represents the edited text. The few misprints and inconsistent renderings of Irish names are tagged corr sic. Unrecognizable spellings of English names are tagged orig reg with the regularisation contained in the reg attribute. Explanatory text supplied by the editor, and placed in brackets, in parentheses and/or italics in the hardcopy, is tagged sup resp="WMH". Only footnotes relating to the manuscripts and their deficiencies are retained. They are tagged note type="auth" n="", and numbered.

Quotation

Quotation marks for direct speech are rendered q.

Hyphenation

Soft hyphens are silently removed. When a hyphenated word (hard or soft) crosses a page-break or line-break, the break is marked after the completion of hyphenated word and punctuation mark.

Segmentation

div0=the body of annals; div1 represents the individual annal (i.e. the entries for one year); div2 represents the individual entry in a given annal. Passages of verse occurring within paragraphs are treated as embedded texts; stanzas are marked lg, and metrical lines are marked l. Page-breaks are marked.

Interpretation

Names of persons, groups and places are not tagged. Neither are terms for cultural and social roles. Latin words and passages are tagged frn lang="la"; Irish terms are tagged term lang="ga".

Canonical References
