[Transcriber’s Note:
This text contains characters that require UTF-8 (unicode) file
encoding, including a few Greek words:
œ (oe ligature)
ẽ ũ (e, u with “tilde”)
λοιμός, λιμός (accented Greek)
If any of these characters do not display properly--in particular,
if a diacritic does not appear directly above its letter--or if the
apostrophes and quotation marks in this paragraph appear as garbage,
make sure your text reader’s “character set” or “file encoding” is set
to Unicode (UTF-8). You may also need to change the default font. As a
last resort, use the Latin-1 version of the file instead.
Forms such as “y^e” (for “the”) represent “y” with small “e” printed
directly above.
The e-text consists of two titles: Caius’s original _De Canibus
Britannicis_ and Fleming’s translation _Of English Dogges_, both from
the 1912 Cambridge edition of Caius’s _Complete Works_. The separate
texts are followed by a combined text, giving the Latin original and the
English translation in small alternating segments. Note that the single
large table of the Caius original was broken into five smaller “Dialls”
in the translation.
Numbers in parentheses were printed in the gutter; they represent pages
(translation) or leaves (Latin) of the original editions, as used in
their respective Indexes. Sidenotes (Latin only) are shown in brackets.
Additional notes are at the end of the e-text.]
