CELT: Corpus of Electronic Texts


#### Sampling Declaration


All editorial introduction, translation, notes and indexes have been omitted. Editorial corrigenda (pp. 404–411 and elsewhere in the edition) are integrated into the electronic edition. In general, only the text of the Book of Lismore had been retained, since variants are cited from other MSS in a non-systematic way and most are non-significant. Therefore, only significant variants are retained and these are tagged as variants. Missing text supplied by the editor is tagged.


#### Editorial Declaration


##### Correction


Text has been thoroughly checked and proofread. All corrections and supplied text are tagged.


##### Normalization


The electronic text represents the edited text. The editor's expansion of the notum for 'vero' as 'immorro' is retained throughout. Words are segmented in accordance with CELT practice.


##### Quotation


Quotation marks are rendered q; double quotation marks

are nested within single quotation marks.


##### 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 volume; div1=the individual saint's Life or religious text; paragraphs are marked div2; poems are marked for stanzas and lines. Page-breaks and line-breaks are marked, and the number of every line-break is give as lb n="nnn". Folio

numbers of the manuscript as rendered in the facsimile are marked mls unit="folio" n="n".


##### Standard Values


Dates are standardized in the ISO form yyyy-mm-dd


##### Interpretation


Names of persons (given names and surnames), groups (dynasties, tribes, peoples etc.), places are tagged. Offices and titles (king, abbot, lord etc.) are tagged. Numbers and dates are tagged.


#### Canonical References
