Introductions
Para15Each of our published editions has a general introduction providing an overview of
the individual show. Where relevant, a separate textual introduction has been published
to capture the substantial bibliographical findings that an editor has made. These
introductions are particular to the show in question, but they often gesture to other
shows to draw connections and encourage further reading.
Para16You can find these show-specific introductions on each showʼs edition page, which
are linked to from our list of published editions.
Modern Texts
Para17To read a modern text of a show, navigate to that showʼs edition landing page, which
you can find in our list of published editions. You will find the modern text in the
Texts of this Editionsection.
Annotations and Collations
Para18Editors have added annotations to the modern-spelling editions of each mayoral show.
They may include:
glosses (notes that give a short description of a term)
commentary (discussion of the meaning of the text)
textual notes (notes about editorial decisions)
pedagogical notes (notes offering teaching tips and strategies)
performance notes (notes discussing the staging on the day of the show)
lexical notes (discussion of the etymology, meaning, and/or prevalence of a word)
lineation notes (discussion of lineation and related editorial decisions)
Semi-Diplomatic Transcriptions
Para19Semi-diplomatic transcriptions are transcribed versions of early modern books. We
encourage navigation between the modern-spelling LEMDO edition and the semi-diplomatic
transcription on MoEML, and we especially recommend juxtaposing these texts in the classroom for lessons
on editorial practice, book history, and bibliography. You can also find facsimile
images of the transcribed text in the semi-diplomatic transcriptions. To view full-sized
facsimile images, click on the thumbnail image beside each page break in the semi-diplomatic
transcription.
