CELT: Corpus of Electronic Texts

All variant readings are omitted.

Text has been checked and proof-read four times. Any corrections and supplied text are tagged.

The printed text is eclectic. The electronic text represents the printed text. Editorical italicisation to indicate expansions has not been retained. Editorial punctuation has been modified to represent the sense more exactly, and words have been segmented in accordance with CELT practice.

There are no quotation marks.

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

div0=the hagiography. Page-breaks are marked pb n="nn"; line-breaks are marked lb n="".

Names of persons (given names), groups (dynasties, peoples, etc.), places are tagged. Numbers are tagged. Names of professions and social roles are tagged.

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.

div0 is reserved for the text.

Page numbers of the printed text are tagged pb n="nn". A canonical reference may be constructed from the tagged page and line breaks of the electronic text.
