SHORT BATCH DESIGNATION: BW
ID #ACS0188
TITLE: Purity: A Middle English Poem
ED.  Robert J. Menner
PUBLISHED: New Haven : Yale University Press, 1920

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS

En-face? NO.

Key and code the following pages:

  1. Title page (front only; back is blank)
     = IMAGE 00000003.tif
  
  2. Main text   = pp.1-66
     = IMAGES 00000065.tif-00000130.tif


Structure

  <FRONT> contains only the title page.
  
  <BODY> contains the main text
  
  <DIV1>s
  
    Encode the numbered divisions (with heads) as <DIV1>s,
    using TYPE="section". For example:
    
    <DIV1 TYPE="section" N="1">
    <HEAD>I. CHRIST'S PRAISE OF PURITY; THE WEDDING FEAST</HEAD>
    <LG>
    <L>Clannesse who so kyndly....
    
    <DIV1 TYPE="section" N="2">
    <HEAD>II. THE PUNISHMENT OF THE MAN IN FOUL CLOTHES</HEAD>
    <LG>
    <L>Now inmyddez ....
    
    <LG>s
  
      This edition uses long verse paragraphs marked by an
      indentation of the first line by about 2 spaces. Encode
      these as <LG>s.
      
      (NOTE: deeper indentation, of about 4 spaces, marks
       long lines that had to be broken to fit on the page,
       not stanza boundaries. Broken lines should always be 
       encoded as single lines between a single pair of <L> tags)
    
    
Milestones

  Folio references appear in brackets in the margins and 
  look like this:
  
  [62b]    =   <MILESTONE UNIT="folio" N="62b">
  [63a]    =   <MILESTONE UNIT="folio" N="63a">
  [63b]    =   <MILESTONE UNIT="folio" N="63b">
  
Notes

  All of the notes are apparently footnotes, keyed to the 
  line numbers of the verse. Place the note at the end of 
  the line indicated, omitting the line number itself from 
  the note, and adding the attribute PLACE="foot". As usual.
