Apparitions -- Early works to 1800
Transcriber's Notes: Italic text is denoted by _underscores_
and change of font text by =equal signs=. There is no Bold text
to convert in this project. The caret character (^) is used for
superscript numbers (see l. 2795)
The Greek passages were very to hard to read, and every effort has
been made to reproduce them correctly.
Typographical errors worth a special mention:
Line 828: Original has 'Onocentanrus'. It should read: 'Onocentaurus'.
Corrected.
Line 1058: Original reads'=Paules Aegineta= writeth'. It should read:
'=Paulus Aegineta= writeth'. Corrected.
Line 1705: In the original book the abbreviation "w[superscript 't']
appears to be purely the author's own abbreviation for the word
'with'. For clarity this has been changed to 'with' in this text
version.
Line 2651: [Sidenote: The spirit of Athens.] Original reads: 'The
spirit of Athen.'. Corrected.
Line 4817: The original reads: 'in the 16. of =Ruke='. It should
read: 'in the 16. of =Luke=.'. Corrected.
Line 5848: Original contains an isolated bracket: 'life of
=Cimon=, (as hée is translated'. It has been left as shown in the
original as uncertain as to where the missing bracket should be.
Line 6173: Original reads: '(which many haue noted before mee
(that many'. The bracket is reversed. It should read: '(which
many haue noted before mee) that many'. Corrected.
Line 7762: Original reads: 'fault vpon his wife =Eua=,'. It should
read:'fault vpon his wife =Eue=,'. Corrected.
Line 8216: Original reads: 'passiuely, as they terme it in the
schooles)'. The opening bracket is missing. It should read:
'passiuely, (as they terme it in the schooles)'. Corrected.
