| Editorial declaration | Edited according to the ISE Editorial Guidelines. The transcripts presented here follow the Quarto text. Word spacing is normalized, and modern forms are substituted in the text node for letters and ligatures that had no modern equivalent in browsers at the time the transcription was made (for example, the long “s”). This transcription retains the old spelling of the original, and does not seek to correct errors of the original text. The encoding of typographical features assumes that the file will be rendered using LEMDO’s precomposed flyphs and ligatures. |
