Sampling declarations
All editorial introduction, translation, glossary, notes and indexes have been omitted. Editorial corrigenda are integrated into the electronic edition. Only the text of the Murphy's edition is retained, and for this electronic edition the variants cited by Murphy are not reproduced. A full citation of variants is likely in a future electronic edition.
Editorial declarations
Correction: Text has been checked and proof-read. All corrections and supplied text are tagged. Further checking is required.
Normalization: The electronic text represents the edited text. Words are segmented in accordance with CELT practice, but this segmentation may not be yet complete.
Quotation: Quotation marks are rendered q; speeches in dramatic poems are indicated with mls unit="poem" n="speaker" and quotation marks are not employed in those instances.
Hyphenation: Soft hyphens are silently removed. When a hyphenated word (hard or soft) crosses a page-break or line-break, the page-break and line-break are marked after the completion of the hyphenated word.
Segmentation: div0 = the poem. Page-breaks of the printed text are marked.
Standard values: There are no dates.
Interpretation: Names of persons (given names and surnames), groups (dynasties, tribes, peoples etc.), places are tagged. Numbers and dates are tagged.
