Encoding description

Project description: CELT: Corpus of Electronic Texts

Sampling declarations

The editor edits the text from MS 1 and cites variants from MS 2; these variant readings are omitted in the electronic text.

Editorial declarations

Correction: Text has been checked and proof-read. All corrections and supplied text are tagged.

Normalization: The printed text is a semi-diplomatic transcript of MS 1. The electronic text represents the printed text. The letters s and f, when lenited by dot, are rendered sh and fh. Words are segemented according to CELT practice.

Quotation: Quotation marks are rendered q.

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

Segmentation: div0=the tale; line-breaks; page-breaks and paragraphs are marked.

Interpretation: Names of places are tagged. Numbers are tagged. Names of professions and social roles are tagged.

Reference declaration

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 can be made from the page and line numbers.
