Structure
<FRONT>
contains the title page only.
<BODY>
contains most of the book, divided into three
major divisions (<DIV1>s), the main text (pp.1-208),
Appendix I (pp.209-225), and the Appendix II
(pp.226-229) respectively.
<DIV1>s
with TYPE="part" are used to separate the
main text (pp.1-208), Appendix I (pp.209-225)
and Appendix II (pp.226-229).
Appendix II is a <DIV1> with no lower level DIVs.
Its contents should be treated as prose with marked
paragraphs; paragraph breaks can be identified by
identations in the text.
<DIV2>s
with TYPE="book" are used to mark the separate books
of the Bible within the main text and Appendix I.
Headings are in caps and centered, beginning with
"Prologue" "1 Peter", "2 Peter," etc. in the main text
and with "James," "I Peter," etc. in Appendix I.
<DIV3>s
with TYPE="chapter" are used to mark chapters within
the books of the Bible. In the main text, these are
identified by large bold numbers in the margin, beginning
in the book of "1 Peter" on pp. 18. In Appendix I, these
are identified by bold numbers at the beginning of paragraph
indents.
Smaller divisions
Treat the Biblical "verses" as milestones (see below).
Milestones
are used to mark
1) verses of the Bible; and
2) folio references (which are located in the foot
of the text and are flagged at the appropriate
line by a superscripted footnote number).
The milestones that mark the verses of the Bible appear
as *small* numbers in the margins, as opposed to the
large bold numbers in the margins that mark the chapters
of the Bible and are designated as <DIV3>s. (*An important
exception to this is in the "Prologue" (pp. 1-18) where
the small numbers in the margin are line counts and should
be ignored.*) The<MILESTONE> tags marking verses should be
placed in the line of text next to which the number
appears, either
a) at the first sentence-break that occurs within
the line; or if there is no sentence break,
b) at the beginning of the line (but never within a
hyphenated word: wait until the word is complete,
then insert the <MILESTONE> tag).
For example, the following text:
12 1 Of spirytual þinges, my breþeren,
2 y ne wole no3t þat 3e ben vnknowynge. For 3e
wyteþ wel þat whylys 3e weren . . .
would look like this:
<DIV3 TYPE="chapter" N="12">
<P><MILESTONE UNIT="verse" N="1">Of spirytual þinges,
my breþeren, y ne wole no&yogh; þat
&yogh;e ben vnknowynge.<MILESTONE UNIT=verse" N="2">For
&yogh;e wythþ wel þat whylys &yogh;e weren . . .
Folio references are located within the foot of the text
and are flagged within the body of the text with a
superscripted footnote number. In these cases, the
<MILESTONE> tags should be inserted within the main body
of the text, replacing the appropriate footnote flag.
When folio references contain, in addition to a page number,
an initial referring to a specific editor or edition, the
initial should be recorded as the REND value in the
<MILESTONE> tag. For example:
1fol.51b P.
2fol.45 S.
should be represented as
<MILESTONE UNIT="folio" REND="P" N="51b">
<MILESTONE UNIT="folio" REND="S" N="45">
Notes
Editorial notes appear at the bottom of the page, keyed
to the text by superscripted footnote numbers. Omit the
superscripted footnote numbers from both the note and
the text and, as usual, embed the notes at the
appropriate place in the text:
A few notes contain a double footnote number,
such as this (pp. 143):
15-15 om S.P.
Such notes are keyed to *two* reference numbers in the
text and refer to all the text contained between the
first superscript number and the second superscript number;
for instance, in the case above, it would refer to all text
between the first superscript '15' and the second
superscript '15.' In such cases,
1) Leave both reference numbers (e.g., the two '15's)
and their superscript tags (<SUP>) in place;
2) Place the note in the text following the *second*
of the two matching reference numbers;
3) And leave the "<SUP>15-15</SUP>" in place within
the text of the note itself.
For example, this passge:
. . . ande 15 whanne he schulde be baptised, he drowe
hym unto Philippe; ande15 whanne he saw . . .
would be tagged as follows:
. . . ande <SUP>15</SUP> whanne he schulde be baptised, he drowe
hym unto Philippe; ande<SUP>15</SUP><NOTE PLACE="foot"><SUP>15-15
</SUP>om S.P.</NOTE> whanne he saw . . .
