TITLE: Die Winteney-Version der Regula S. Benedicti
ED. M. M. Arnold Schröer
PUBLISHED: Halle : Max Niemeyer, 1888

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS

En-face?: YES. Facing-page Latin original (even-numbered pages) and Middle English translation (odd-numbered pages). Key only the English.

Key and code the following pages:

Title page (front only)
= IMAGE 00000001.tif
Main text = odd-numbered pp. [1]-9 and 13-147
= odd numbered IMAGES 00000031-0000037.tif
and odd numbered IMAGES 00000041.tif-00000175.tif

Structure

<FRONT> contains only the title page.
<BODY> contains the main text
- <DIV1>s
  Encode the Prolog and numbered chapters I-LXXIII as <DIV1>s, using TYPE="chapter". For example:
```
   
    <DIV1 TYPE="chapter" N="1">
    <HEAD>I. HER SEI&ETH; URE HLAFORD <I>SANCTE</I> BENEDIHT HU
    FELE MYNECENA KYNN SYNDAN.</HEAD>
    <P>Feower cynne mynecene beod. ....
 
```
- Paragraphs
  Record paragraphs with <P> as usual.
- Line numbers
  Line numbers appear every five lines in the left margin. Since this is prose, do *not* record them. (But note that they must be used when deciding where to place <NOTE> tags).

Milestones

Folio references appear in parentheses in the margin, like this:
(55^a) = <MILESTONE UNIT="folio" N="55a">
(55^b) = <MILESTONE UNIT="folio" N="55b">
(58^a) = <MILESTONE UNIT="folio" N="58a">
(58^b) = <MILESTONE UNIT="folio" N="58b">
(59^a) = <MILESTONE UNIT="folio" N="59a">
(59^b) = <MILESTONE UNIT="folio" N="59b">
(60^a) = <MILESTONE UNIT="folio" N="60a">
Cross-references appear at the bottom of each page in brackets, like this:
[O 3,18-5,4.]
[A 9,1-10,6.]
[A 10,7-11,20.]
Record these as milestones, placing the tag immediately after page-break tag at the head of the page, like this, using the initial "A" or "O" as the value of the "REND" attribute:
```
     <PB N="7"><MILESTONE REND="O" N="3,18-5,4">
     <PB N="15"><MILESTONE REND="A" N="10,7-11,20">
     <PB N="17"><MILESTONE REND="A" N="11,20-13,14">
     
```

Notes

Footnotes are linked to the line number. Place the <NOTE PLACE="foot"> element in the text at the end of the indicated line, but do not record the line number itself.

Character problems

This is a very early text somewhat unusually printed. Note the existence of the following letter forms, especially the upright lowercase "eth" and the crossed thorn (which is an abbreviation for "that"):

Character	Looks like:	Record as:
Upper case eth		`Ð`
Lower case eth		`ð`
Upper case yogh		`&YOGH;`
Lower case yogh		`&yogh;`
Tironian "et"		`&`
Upper case thorn		`Þ`
Crossed thorn		`&that;`
