TRANSCRIBER'S ENDNOTE.
Inconsistent and strange spelling and grammar has been retained,
with a few exceptions noted below. Sidenotes have been moved from
beside paragraphs to the heads of the associated paragraphs. In some
cases this may result in several sidenotes appearing together, between
paragraphs. Italic type was used freely in the printed book. In this
text version, _italic phrases_ are surrounded by underscores.
This book was printed in a kind of blackletter textura or fraktur
typeface which contained three ligatures now uncommon, and which may
be described as: SMALL E OVER SMALL Y, SMALL T OVER SMALL Y, and SMALL
T OVER SMALL W. These have been rendered herein with superscript
notation: y^e, y^t, and w^t. These are abbreviations for "ye", "that",
and "with".
The letters "a", "e", "o", and "u" originally printed with macrons are
rendered in this Latin-1 text version with diaeresis. This notation
signifies that the following sound should be "n" or "m", as in "amög",
meaning "among".
Certain names such as "Mutezuma" or "Vitzilopuchtli" were generally
printed in italic type, and were sometimes printed with what
appears to the transcriber to be an interior capital Z, like this:
"VitZilopuchtli". These have all been rendered with small z.
Occasionally commas were printed where full stops were wanted, and vice
versa. These have sometimes been fixed without comment.
This book was originally printed with some incorrect page numbers. For
one example, starting at page 32, the sequence of printed numbers was
32, 37, 34, 35, 40, 41, 38, 39, 37, 41, 42, 43. . . . The printed page
numbers have been discarded in this ebook. In the following notes, the
page numbers referenced are the printed ones.
P. 23: "vergan ines" changed to "vergantines".
P. 47: "crrtaine" changed to "certaine".
P. 50: "_Tauasco_ _Cortez_" changed to "_Tauasco_, _Cortez_".
P. 58: In "of siluer whiche wayde .25. markes", the text between
"wayde" and "markes" was somewhat unclear.
P. 100: The word after "Ierome Friers" was unclear, but a different
edition had "dame", which is adopted herein.
P. 170: In "as i paynted of the Antikes", changed "i" to "is",
supported by a different edition of the book.
P. 179: "butttocke" changed to "buttocke".
P. 209: "crosse stéete" changed to "crosse stréete", supported by a
different edition.
