Knights and knighthood -- Poetry; Romances, English
The letter “n” with overline is shown as ñ (n-tilde) for better font
support.
Double “l” in the main text was printed as two l’s with a single
connecting line. They are shown in this e-text as ƚƚ (paired l-bar).
Note that the printers do not seem to have had an italic version of this
letter pair; in the e-text it is shown as italic or roman based on the
surrounding text.
_Errors and Inconsistencies_
Errors in the main text and fragments are shown at the end of each
stanza in [[double brackets]]. The word “invisible” means that there is
an appropriately sized blank space or extra indentation, but the
character (usually an open single quote) is missing. Unusual spellings
in the Sidenotes are probably attributable to Frederick Furnivall.
Hyphenization of prefixes in the modern material (introduction,
linenotes, endnotes) does not always match the body text; words are
printed as shown. In citations, capitalization of German is unchanged.
Commas at the end of Glossary entries are not errors. The letters I and
J are alphabetized together. Initial U is written and alphabetized as V.
