This is not currently part of the peer-reviewed material of the project. Do not cite as a research publication.
l. Where corrections have been made in the ms., they should be signalled as follows:
i. Where the correction is in the hand of the same scribe who writes the main text: ‘x corrected from y’;
ii. Where the correction is in a later or different hand from the main text: ‘x corrected from y in a different/later hand/C16th hand ‘ (level of specificity will differ from case to case).
m. Abbreviations are silently expanded, and not italicised.
n. English words such as so or om. or corrected from should be italicised. No others should be italicised.
o. Variants to the same lemma are separated by a comma, but where there are variations to more than one lemma within the line, the sets of variants should be separated by a semi-colon, e.g. [8] of: ok W, um C; barmar: barma W. ‡ Three spaces should also precede each new lemma or line number. E.g. [3] en: enn H, Flat; þeirs: þeir Hr, Flat [4] ulfs: ulf ...
‡ p. Mss are referred to by the abbreviated sigla (>> 6. Sigla for sources A).
