Transcription Conventions

Page Breaks: This manuscript was imaged two pages at a time. To make the new page, add the folio number at the top of the transcription between brackets, e.g. [115r] if a righthand page, or [114v] if it is the verso, or lefthand page.

Line Breaks: Hit Enter once after each line ends. Two returns indicate a new paragraph, whether indicated by a blank line or other spacing in the original.

Rubrication: Letters marked in red or colour should be marked with [rubric]heading[rubric].

Spelling: Transcribe the original spelling of the text. Do not regularize any words. If you are uncertain about your transcription, you can frame the word or letters with brackets and add a question mark, e.g. [abb?].

Capitalization: Only capitalise rubricated letters (coloured or dotted letters).

Names: If you recognize names, transcribe the original spelling and mark them as [name]colum[name].

Punctuation: Use original punctuation when possible. Transcribe the punctus elevatus (upside down ;) as ; . Transcribe a line/space filler (often // in the manuscript) as [cfe].

Buttons

A number of buttons are available to allow you to mark common transcription problems easily:

Headings Heading can be marked using the heading button 'head'.

Unclear Use this button to select text that is unclear or illegible. Type actual letters only where legible and for those you cannot read type as many dots as you think there are letters, e.g. l..os.

Deletion Marks text that has been removed by erasure.

Abbreviation Marks text that has been abbreviated. You can write the expansion between the quotation marks: expan=" ".

Addition Marks text inserted after-the-fact (clearly in a different ink or hand).

Superscript and Subscript Letter added super- or subscript by the original scribe (as far as can be determined).

Marginalia If you spot entries in the margins, add them at the bottom of the page and mark them as marginalia using the button.

If you are familiar with this Platform, you can use the Autolink and Subject linking functions for names of people and places. Otherwise I suggest marking them as above.

"Autolink" will suggest subjects certain words could be linked to or you can use double braces to link subjects. [[Jane Doe]] will link the text "Jane Doe" to the subject Jane Doe, while [[Jane Doe|Jane]] will link the text "Jane" to the subject Jane Doe. We recommend that linking be left to an editor after the initial transcription is made.
