Sampling declarations
All editorial introduction, translation, glossary, notes and indexes have been omitted. Editorial corrigenda are integrated into the electronic edition.

Editorial declarations
Correction: Text has been checked and proof-read. All corrections and supplied text are tagged. Further checking is required.
