[_Differences between this e-text and the printed book_
Sidenotes giving leaf-and-column information were often abbreviated for
space. The forms “lf.” and “bk.” have been silently regularized to
“leaf” and “back”. The full word “leaf” has been supplied where missing,
except in references to the Trentham MS., where it was consistently
omitted in the original.
Notes were variously printed in the side margin or at the bottom of
the page, depending on space constraints. They have been treated as
footnotes or sidenotes according to their function: information about
the text or MS. (footnote), leaf- or column numbering (sidenote),
narrative summary (sidenote). Where more than one MS was used, narrative
sidenotes are shown at the beginning of each group of lines.
The recurring words “No gap in MS.” are in the original; they are
generally followed by one or more blank lines inserted to keep the texts
parallel. The words are retained in _King Horn_ to preserve the editor’s
line numbering; in the other texts they were retained only when needed
to prevent ambiguity. The notation [[empty line]] in double brackets was
added by the transcriber.
Line numbering is as in the original. Printed numbers have been silently
regularized to the EETS-standard multiple of 4.
Each page of _King Horn_ was divided into three: the Cambridge and Laud
versions in adjoining columns, and the Harleian across the bottom, with
lines printed in pairs separated by a | divider. For this e-text, the
Harleian text has been broken into single lines to match the other two.
General sidenotes were originally printed in the Harleian section.
Except for footnote markers and Transcriber’s Notes, all brackets [ ]
are in the original.
