Merging with previous transcription
[edit]User:Rumpelstilzchen began transcribing this text several years ago. Their text is an excellent basis for this transcription, but the following modifications must be made to restore Skeat's notational conventions:
- Replace
⁊
withand
- Replace
·
(middot) with.
(period) - Replace
Ƿ
withW
, andƿ
withw
- Replace
(MUFI character
) withþ''æ''t
- Replace
ā
witha''m''
,ū
withu''m''
, etc. (Note, the overline may sometimes be used to replace characters other than m) - There are probably others also; a full proofread is still necessary.
- Also, line numbers need to be redone in accordance with the source scan; see #Style guide above.
Once proofreading is done, this text will become the primary copy of Skeat's edition, and User:Rumpelstilzchen's text will become either (a) a user-annotated version of Skeat's edition, or (b) the primary copy of the original manuscript Cotton MS Julius E VII (which can be proofread against a scan of the MS when one becomes available, e.g. by converting this scan into DJVU or PDF format).
