Editorial material: As explained in the editor’s Introduction, “Additions are made within square brackets, and interlineations are printed between accents.” Brackets added by the transcriber are also used to enclose footnotes and similar multi-line blocks of text. The `accents´ occur in pairs, and are used nowhere else. Some selections use *asterisks*, also in pairs. In notes and other editorial material, _lines_ represent italics. Headnotes were retained only when they contain text that does not appear elsewhere on the page. Errors and Inconsistencies: A few Linenotes were separated by semicolons (;) instead of extra space; these have been regularized to | lines. Line numbers are in multiples of 5. Both in the e-text and in the original book, variations in line number are for mechanical reasons such as unusually long lines, or to avoid collision with marginal folio numbers. When a new selection began at mid-page, linenotes were sometimes identified by selection number. These were randomly printed in upper or lower case, as “XVII” or “xvii”.] End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of Selections from early Middle English, 1130-1250, by Various
