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

This text contains editorial emendations of MS readings. For the mark-up of these emendations, see sub heading Correction below. This edition also incorporates textual variations between the different MSS in which the text occurs. For the mark-up of these variations, see sub heading Tags declaration below. In the HTML format, emendations and variant readings are encoded as hyperlinks. Clicking the links will display the readings in a pop-up window.

Readings from the Book of Leinster are labelled “L”, those from Brussels MS 2569 are labelled “B” and from 23 P 1 are labelled “P”.

To facilitate searching, macrons used to indicate long vowels in the printed edition have been omitted from the html display.

Encoding principles:

Correction

In his printed edition, Meyer has in some places emended the reading of the MS. These emendations are encoded in TLH by means of the <corr> tag with two attributes, namely the “sic” attribute, indicating the reading of the MS, and the “resp” attribute, indicating editorial responsibility. Editorial responsibility is indicated as follows: “p” indicates print editor and “e” the editor of the electronic edition. TLH has not made any alterations to Meyer’s text.

Normalisation

This text has not been normalised.

Quotation

No quotations occur.

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 <app> tag is used to encode the critical apparatus, and contains a lemma and at least one variant reading.
The <lem> tag is used within the <app> tag to encode the lemma, i.e. a word or phrase in the text variations of which occur in other MS versions.
The <rdg> tag is used within the <app> tag to encode the variant readings that occur. The “wit” attribute identifies the source of the readings.
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.
