Encoding description

Project description: CELT: Corpus of Electronic Texts

Sampling declarations

All the editorial text with the corrections of the editor has been retained. The translation and editorial comment have been omitted.

Editorial declarations

Correction: Text has been taken from the editor's digital copy and thoroughly checked, proof-read and parsed using NSGMLS.

Normalization: The electronic text represents the edited text.

Quotation: There are no quotations.

Hyphenation: There are no hyphenated words.

Segmentation: div0=the chronology. Line-breaks are marked.

Interpretation: Names of persons (given names), and places are tagged. Apparently significant spaces in the MS are tagged using space. Tagged bold represents MS features reported by the editor. This is ornate prose of a rhetorical kind with rhyme and cursus rythyms: as in the print text, italics suggest rhyme; grave and acute accents represent cursus rhythms.

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 (whether in one volume or many).

The numbered line-breaks provide a canonical reference.
