STRUCTURE
Note: a helpful guide to the structure of this
book is contained in the table of contents

<FRONT> contains only the title page.
<BODY> contains the main text.
<BACK> contains the single poem
on pp. 529-530.
<DIV1>s
with TYPE="part" are used to record two major
parts of the book, which are numbered "I" and
"II". <DIV1>s with TYPE="appendix" are also
used for the appendix ("Anhang") attached to
each of the numbered parts:
(1) I. North-english legend collection
= pp. [1]-173.
(2) Appendix
= pp. [174]-[188]
(3) II. Individual legends (except legend
no. 24) = pp. 209-471.
(4) Appendix
= pp. [489]-526.
<DIV2>s
with TYPE="legend" are used in the first, third, and fourth
<DIV1> to mark the items numbered with arabic numerals (1, 2, 3, etc.)
(the brief introductory verses to the first <DIV1> can
also be coded as an unnumbered <DIV2> with TYPE="prolog"),
that is, e.g.:
<HEAD>Incipit hic tratatus de legenda sanctorum.</HEAD>
(1) <DIV2 TYPE="prolog">
(2) <DIV2 TYPE="legend" N="1">
<HEAD>1. De s. Andrea apostolo historia
<NOTE TYPE="head">Diese, die Sammlung des Ms. Harl. 4196 ...
</NOTE></HEAD>
(3) <DIV2 TYPE="legend" N="2">
<HEAD>2. Hic incipit historia de s. Nicholao episcopo.</HEAD>
(4) <DIV2 TYPE="legend" N="3">
<HEAD>3. De s. Lucia virgine historia.</HEAD>
etc.
One or two of these legends have an appendix ("Anhang"
or "Beilage") attached. Treat these as unnumbered <DIV2>s
with TYPE="appendix". Examples: pp. 77-81 or pp. [236]-241.
<DIV2>s with type="legend" are used in the first appendix
(pp. [174]-208) to mark off the two legends:
(1) Alexius (pp. [174]-[188])
(2) Machor (pp. [189]-208)
<DIV3>s
with TYPE="section" are used in the <DIV2>s of the 1st and
third <DIV1> whenever a legend is divided by unnumbered
headings (generally in larger type). E.g., p. 116:
</DIV3><DIV3><HEAD>De corpore beate Marie virginis.</HEAD>
(German phrases in small bold type between the lines are
not headings but interlinear <NOTE>s. For example: "Hier
beginnt andere Hand" p. 99 and p. 199; "Hier fehlt
1 Blatt im Ms." p. 201; "Hier fehlen eine oder zwei
Strophen" p. 214)
<DIV3>s with TYPE="version" are used in the legend
of St. Alexius (pp. [174]-[188]) to mark off the
two version of the legend:
(1) MS. Ashmole 42 (left columns)
(2) MS. Cambridge Gg.5.31 (right columns)
...also in the legend of Seynt Katerine (pp.[242]-
259) to mark off the two versions:
(1) Auchinleck MS (left columns through the top
of page [258]);
(2) Caius College MS 175 (right columns through
the top of page [258]), both columns at
the bottom of page [258], and both columns
on page [259].
<DIV3>s with TYPE="prolog" and TYPE="book" are
used in legend number 20 of the third <DIV1>
(S. Edmund und Fremund), to mark off the
Prolog and the three Books ("I. Buch" etc.).
<DIV3>s with TYPE="fragment" are used in the
second legend of the final appendix (pp.
[499]-504) to mark off the two fragments:
(1) I. Auchinleck (pp. [499]-502).
(2) II. De miraculo beate Marie, Thornton MS
(pp. [503]-504).
<DIV4>s
with TYPE="section" are used to subdivide some
of the <DIV3>s above (e.g. the Books and Prolog
of Individual Legend 20) whenever unnumberd
headings appear.
<LG>s
are used whenever a true stanzaic layout appear, e.g.
in the first and second legends of the third <DIV1>, which
are printed in 6-line stanzas; or in the third legend
of the third <DIV1>, which is printed in 4-line stanzas;
or in the fourth legend of the third <DIV1>, which is
printed in 8-line stanzas. Also wherever there are
clear verse paragraphs (e.g. marked by a large initial
cap and blank line).
MILESTONES
Folio references appear at the edge of the text in small
type (not quite in the margins), like this:
fol. 134 = <MILESTONE UNIT="folio" N="134">
fol. 135 = <MILESTONE UNIT="folio" N="135">
fol. 137 = <MILESTONE UNIT="folio" N="137">
fol. 15 = <MILESTONE UNIT="folio" N="15">
fol. 143 b = <MILESTONE UNIT="folio" N="143b">
fol. 145 = <MILESTONE UNIT="folio" N="145">
NOTES
Most of the notes are footnotes tied to line numbers, or
ranges of line numbers, in the text.
Notes tied to line numbers should be treated as usual
(placing the note in the text at the end of the appropriate
line and removing the line number from the note).
Notes tied to line number ranges ("33-50") should also
be treated as usual (placing the note in the text at the
end of the last line in the range, but *retaining* the
line numbers in the note).
Some texts use two sets of footnotes: e.g. on page 55,
there are two notes to lines 81 and 114, then, separated
by a horizontal line, there is a second block of notes
to lines 61, 63-4, 65, 66, 67, 69, 70, 71-72, 73, 74-75,
76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82, 83, etc. When there are two
sets of footnotes, tag them as <NOTE PLACE="foot1"> and
<NOTE PLACE="foot2">. As usual.
Many of the items (divisions) contain some kind of introductory
material; some of the sets of notes contain introductory
phrases or sentences prior to the start of the line-by-line
notes. Most of this material can be handled as head notes,
<NOTE PLACE="head"> attached to the heading <HEAD> for the
division. Sometimes, but not always, this material is
explicitly linked to the heading by a reference number
or asterisk.
