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
insular ampersand (‘Tironian et’) is displayed as &
the Latin abbreviation for vel is displayed as nó

Encoding principles:

Correction

The printed edition contains footnotes with suggested emendations to the text of the MS. Words or phrases in the MS for which the editors have proposed emendations are encoded by means of the <sic> tag, with the “corr” attribute indicating the proposed reading and the “resp” attribute, indicating the source of the emendation. In the HTML display, these readings are encoded as hyperlinks; clicking the links will display the emendations in a pop-up window.

The MS occasionally employs the insular ampersand in place of the letter d. Gwynn and Purton have allowed this scribal idiosyncracy to stand in the printed edition. In the TLH edition, however, this usage has throughout been transcribed as d.

Normalisation

This text has not been normalised.

Quotation

Quotation marks enclosing direct speech, whether single or double in the printed source, are encoded in TLH with the <q> tag. The same tag is also used in situations where direct speech has not been explicitly marked by the use of quotation marks.

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 <expan> tag is used to encode text printed in italics to indicate editorial expansions of manuscript abbreviations.
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.
The <emph> tag is used to encode large upper-case initials appearing in the MS and highlighted in the printed edition.
The <add> tag is reserved for additions made to the text in the original manuscript prior to the publication of modern editions.
