Structure
<FRONT> contains only the title page.
<BODY> contains the main text and appendix,
as listed above.
<DIV1>s
divide the main text from the appendix
(each is put in its own <DIV1>)
<DIV2>s
are used for the large divisions marked
with roman numerals, as listed above,
that is, sections II-IV and VI-XIII of
the main text and sections I-II of
the appendix.
<DIV3>s
are used to mark major divisions
within the <DIV2>s, especially as marked
by headings. Note particularly the
following:
o Main text, section II contains two versions
running parallel on facing pages; each should
be placed in its own <DIV3>:
(1) Even pages 18-60 contain one version
(from manuscript Ashmole 43).
(2) Odd pages 19-61 contain another version
(from the Vernon manuscript)
o Main text, section III contains headings in
italics on pp. 62, 71, 72, 75, 79, 81, and
84 which may be used as the <HEAD>s of
<DIV3>s.
o Main text, section XIII contains two
versions, mostly running parallel on
facing pages; each should be placed
in its own <DIV3>:
(1) Even pages [170]-194 and pp.195-196
contain one version (from manuscript
Royal 17.A.27).
(2) Odd pages [171]-193 contain another
version (from Additional manuscript
22029).
o Main text, section I contains two <DIV3>s:
"Dispute between Mary and the Cross" (pp.
[197]-209) and "Festivals of the Church"
(pp.210-221).
<LG>s and <P>s
Treat the following divisions as stanzas (<LG>s)
or paragraphs (<P>s) rather than <DIV3>s:
o in Main text, section VIII (pp.[131]-149),
numbered stanzas I-XL.
o in Main text, section IX (pp.[150]-152), numbered
stanzas I-VI.
o in Main text, section XI (pp.[154]-160), unnumbered
paragraphs.
o in Main text, section XII (pp.[161]-169), unnumbered
paragraphs.
o in Appendix, section I (pp.[197]-221), two sets of
numbered stanzas running I-XL and I-XXX.
Problem text
Appendix, section II (pp.222-224), is a confused set of
extracts. simply tag the whole text as if it were English
verse (with <L> tags, but no <LG>s) and leave it to us
to sort out.
Illustrations
Section XIII of the main text (Symbols of the Passion,
pp. [170]-196) contains illustrations embedded in the
text. Encode these simply as <FIGURE>.
Many of these illustrations have a phrase in italics directly
beneath them, e.g., on p. 174 "Triginta denarii", "Lanterna",
and "Gladii et fustes." Encode these phrases as <HEAD>s
nested within the <FIGURE> element. E.g.:
<FIGURE>
<HEAD>Gladii et fustes.</HEAD>
</FIGURE>
Milestones
Folio references generally appear in brackets in the margins
(occasionally linked to a spot in the text with an asterisk
or similar flag). They look like this:
[fol. Cxxxii. col. 1.] = <MILESTONE UNIT="folio" N="Cxxxiia:1">
[fol. Cxxxii. col. 2.] = <MILESTONE UNIT="folio" N="Cxxxiia:2">
[fol. Cxxxii. b, col. 1.] = <MILESTONE UNIT="folio" N="Cxxxiib:1">
[fol. Cxxxii. b, col. 2.] = <MILESTONE UNIT="folio" N="Cxxxiib:2">
[fol. 316] = <MILESTONE UNIT="folio" N="316a:1">
[fol. 316, col. 2.] = <MILESTONE UNIT="folio" N="316a:2">
[fol. 316, col. 3.] = <MILESTONE UNIT="folio" N="316a:3">
[fol. 316 b, col. 1.] = <MILESTONE UNIT="folio" N="316b:1">
[fol. 316 b, col. 2.] = <MILESTONE UNIT="folio" N="316b:2">
[fol. 77.] = <MILESTONE UNIT="folio" N="77a:1">
[fol. 77, col. 2.] = <MILESTONE UNIT="folio" N="77a:2">
[fol. 77b.] = <MILESTONE UNIT="folio" N="77b:1">
[fol. 77b, col. 2.] = <MILESTONE UNIT="folio" N="77b:2">
