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
insular ampersand (‘Tironian et’) is displayed as &
the Latin abbreviation for vel is displayed as nó
e with an ogonek (i.e. ę) is used to represent MS tall e

Editorial Declaration:

The electronic text is transcribed from the facsimile of the Book of Lismore. The electronic version is a diplomatic version of the manuscript original. Punctuation, word division and capitalisation are as in the manuscript. Contractions are expanded where possible and the expansions are tagged <expan>.

Where the facsimile is not wholly legible, recourse has been had to O’Curry’s transcription of this manuscript. Readings from O’Curry’s transcription are tagged <supplied> with the “resp” attribute and the identifier “eoc”. O’Curry’s transcription indicates marking of lenition which is not readily discernible from the manuscript facsimile. In these instances the reading of the facsimile has been allowed to stand.

The text is tagged for folio, column and line breaks.
