TITLE: The Romance of Guy of Warwick : the ... 14th-century version.
ED. Julius Zupitza
PUBLISHED: Early English Text Society 42, 49, 59 (1883, 1887, 1891)
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
En-face? YES. Most of the book consists of a facing-page arrangement,
with the version found in one manuscript (Auchinleck) on
the left page, and the version found in another (Caius) on
the right page. All the pages from one version should be
treated together as one <DIV>; all the pages from the other
version likewise treated together as another <DIV>.
Key and code the following pages:
1. Title page (front and back)
= IMAGES 00000003.tif-00000004.tif
2. Main text = pp.2-674
= IMAGES 00000006.tif-00000678.tif
Structure
<FRONT> contains only the title page.
<BODY> contains the main text, divided into three <DIV1>s.
<DIV1>s
(1) The Auchinleck version of Guy of Warwick (plus
a little bit of French original from the Corpus
manuscript)
= even-numbered pp. 2-288
+ all pp. 289-304
+ even-numbered pp.306-318
+ p.319
+ even-numbered pp.320-334
+ p.335
+ even-numbered pp.336-346
+ p.347
+ even-numbered pp. 348-358
+ all pp. 359-366
+ even-numbered pp. 368-490
+ even-numbered pp. 502-610
+ p.611
+ even-numbered pp. 612-628
(2) The Caius version of Guy of Warwick
= odd-numbered pp. 3-287
+ odd-numbered pp. 305-317
+ odd-numbered pp. 321-333
+ odd-numbered pp. 337-345
+ odd-numbered pp. 349-357
+ odd-numbered pp. 367-491
+ all pp. 492-501
+ even-numbered pp.503-609
+ odd-numbered pp. 613-629
(3) Reinbrun
= *all* pp. 631-674
<DIV2>s
Use large initial capital letters as a guide to where to
divide the <DIV1>s (with TYPE="section") into <DIV2>s.
Do not use the blank lines in the Caius version as a cue to
divisions: they are present simply in order to make
corresponding parts of the two versions appear opposite
each other.
<LG>s
From page 384 to page 628, the Auchinleck version of Guy
is divided into 299 stanzas. The stanza number appears
in the margin, where it is easily confused with line
numbers; the stanza number, however, is in bold type.
Code these with <LG>, using the number in bold type
as the value of the "N" attribute.
Milestones
(1) Folio references in the Auchinleck version of Guy (the first
<DIV1>), as well as in Reinbrun (the third <DIV1>)
appear in the margin and look like this:
MS. 108r. col.1 = <MILESTONE UNIT="folio" N="108a:1">
MS. 113r. col.2 = <MILESTONE UNIT="folio" N="113a:2">
MS. 134r. b. = <MILESTONE UNIT="folio" N="134a:b">
MS. fol. 134v. a. = <MILESTONE UNIT="folio" N="134b:a">
MS. fol. 134v. b. = <MILESTONE UNIT="folio" N="134b:b">
MS. fol. 135r. a. = <MILESTONE UNIT="folio" N="135a:a">
MS. fol. 135r. b. = <MILESTONE UNIT="folio" N="135a:b">
(2) Page references in the Caius version of Guy (the second <DIV1>;
the manuscript has page numbers instead of folio numbers)
appear between text and margin in brackets and look like this:
[p. 118] = <MILESTONE UNIT="page" N="118">
[p. 119] = <MILESTONE UNIT="page" N="119">
[p. 120] = <MILESTONE UNIT="page" N="120">
[p. 121] = <MILESTONE UNIT="page" N="121">
(3) Cross-references in the Auchinleck version of Guy appear
in bold type in the near margin, and look like this:
C.4441 = <MILESTONE REND="C" UNIT="line" N="4441">
C.4471 = <MILESTONE REND="C" UNIT="line" N="4471">
C.4491 = <MILESTONE REND="C" UNIT="line" N="4491">
C.4507 = <MILESTONE REND="C" UNIT="line" N="4507">
Record these as milestones, UNIT="line" and REND="C", as
indicated.
(4) Additional cross-references appear in the margins of the
Auchinleck version, and look like this:
Turnbull, p. 166, l. 4283
Turnbull, p. 167, l. 4309
Ignore these.
Notes
A few notes appear interlinearly in brackets. Record these
as <NOTE PLACE="inter">, placing the note at the end of the
preceding line, as usual.
Most notes appear in the margins, linked to the text by
superscripted reference numbers. Record these as <NOTE
PLACE="marg">, placing the tag in the text at the point
indicated by the superscripted number, as usual.
A few notes in the French text at the beginning of the
book use double note numbers to indicate a range of text,
e.g. (p.8):
2_2 del 2e de2 seneschal uodrum parler
As in previous books, record this as follows, preserving
the doubled reference number both in the text and in the
note:
<L><SUP>2</SUP>e de<SUP>2</SUP>
<NOTE PLACE="marg">2_2 del</NOTE> seneschal
uodrum parler</L>
