Looser Trailer (TRAILERs containing LIST L Q or BIBL)

TCP ID: A01472 ; STC: S11597 in phase 1 batch 2008-02 PAGE IMG on EEBO site Text at Michigan TCP site: A curious lot of div-bot stuff; LIST within TRAILER is as good as any other attempt to tag it.
TCP ID: A02399 ; STC: S1253 in phase 1 batch 2005-04 PAGE IMG on EEBO site Text at Michigan TCP site: Arguably legitimate case of L within TRAILER, but probably better tagged as closing ARGUMENT or even EPIGRAPH rather than TRAILER. (?)
TCP ID: A05547 ; STC: S15671 in phase 1 batch 2005-01 PAGE IMG on EEBO site Text at Michigan TCP site: Definitely a TRAILER, but the contents better tagged with LB than with L, I think.
TCP ID: A06710 ; STC: S1716 in phase 1 batch 2004-02 PAGE IMG on EEBO site Text at Michigan TCP site: No longer contains a TRAILER, so not clear where the offending tag was.
TCP ID: A08305 ; STC: S18634 in phase 1 batch 2005-10 PAGE IMG on EEBO site Text at Michigan TCP site: Conceivably a TRAILER, but contents better tagged with LB than with L, I think.
TCP ID: A11186 ; STC: S21453 in phase 2 batch 2011-06 PAGE IMG on EEBO site Text at Michigan TCP site: Not sure what this is.
TCP ID: A11628 ; STC: S21875 in phase 1 batch 2008-02 PAGE IMG on EEBO site Text at Michigan TCP site: A bit of panegyric to Mary Queen of Scots appended to a chapter containing the laws issued by her Parliament. These two poems had been wrapped in a TRAILER because the preceding material ("these are true copies" etc.) had been tagged as CLOSER, a reasonable tactic with respect to the closer, but not really so with respect to the TRAILER. Changed the clerical statement into a DIV of is own, and was therefore able to put the verse into a div of its own as well, thus removing L from TRAILER in this case. *Might* also have wrapped the verse in POSTSCRIPT, though that did not seem particularly appropriate either.
TCP ID: A11722 ; STC: S22009 in phase 1 batch 2004-10 PAGE IMG on EEBO site Text at Michigan TCP site: A closing quotation following the trailer was included within it. Nowadays we tag these as epigraphs (in defiance of the text of the Guidelines, which allow epigraphs only at the beginning of divs), so I have changed this to EPIGRAPH after TRAILER.
TCP ID: A11909 ; STC: S22221 in phase 1 batch 2007-02 PAGE IMG on EEBO site Text at Michigan TCP site: Same problem (and same resolution) as previous item.
TCP ID: A12561 ; STC: S22880.4 in phase 2 batch 2012-05 PAGE IMG on EEBO site Text at Michigan TCP site: Two problems: two stanzas following the closer, one of which is something or other, but might as well be called a trailer as anything else. And the second is definitely a SIGNED or BYLINE, neither of which allowed verse. Had been tagged as TRAILER TYPE="byline" for want of any better choice. CHanged to LG within SIGNED.
TCP ID: A15987 ; STC: S2768 in phase 1 batch 2005-04 PAGE IMG on EEBO site Text at Michigan TCP site: A verse benediction after the FINIS and before the AMEN. Put in TRAILER TYPE="benediction" for want of anything better.
TCP ID: A16500 ; STC: S3413 in phase 1 batch 2007-02. PAGE IMG on EEBO site Text at Michigan TCP site: A concluding and moralizing and summarizing stanza after the FINIS. Could be tagged as ARGUMENT if you are happy with arguements at the end of divs. Or could be a completely separate DIV1 @TYPE=epilogue. Had been placed in TRAILER simply because it allowed verse.
TCP ID: A21693 ; STC: S800 in phase 1 batch 2005-10. PAGE IMG on EEBO site Text at Michigan TCP site: A parting and perhaps valedictory couplet after the trailer proper ("retaine the good, refraine the ill / repute not amiss of my good will") and before the signature proper. TRAILER isn't right: SALUTE or SIGNED might be better, and would presumably be allowed (via LG) in the newly expanded SIGNED and SALUTE elements. Changed to LG within SIGNED.
TCP ID: A22151 ; STC: S8562 in phase 2 batch 2010-04. PAGE IMG on EEBO site Text at Michigan TCP site: A list of names at the conclusion of a proclmation of the Privy Council had been taken as a list of addressees (belonging in trailer) but I think it is actually a list of signatories (belonging in SIGNED). Moved to SIGNED as a LIST.
TCP ID: A29149 ; STC: WB4166 in phase 1 batch 2008-02. PAGE IMG on EEBO site Text at Michigan TCP site: A single line of Latin verse after the signature, apparently from an anonymous (maybe now no longer anonymous??) elegy on the death of Cromwell printed in its entirety in Musarum Cantabrigiensium Lucius et Gratulano (1658). In its current context, best taken as an epigraph. So changed.
TCP ID: A38036 ; STC: WE2129 in phase 2 batch 2010-04. PAGE IMG on EEBO site Text at Michigan TCP site: Trailer used (as we often do) to hold the royal coat of arms that appears after the regular trailer. Coat of arms itself as usual contains the motto of the order of the Garter (hony soit qui mal y pense), which the tagger had as usual included. But the tagger forgot the FIGURE tag itself. So this is actually FIGURE within TRAILER, not Q within TRAILER. So changed.
TCP ID: A49188 ; STC: WL3078A in phase 2 batch 2010-04. PAGE IMG on EEBO site Text at Michigan TCP site: Gloria Patri after the regular trailer. No absolute need to tag it as verse, though it might be so regarded. And not really a TRAILER. Not really happy in any div-wrapper element. Could put it in epigraph, I guess.
TCP ID: A50781 ; STC: WM1965 in phase 2 batch 2011-06. PAGE IMG on EEBO site Text at Michigan TCP site: List of addressees in TRAILER @TYPE="direction" (in the sense of 'address' of a letter). Legitimate example.
TCP ID: A54500 ; STC: WP1693 in phase 2 batch 2012-05. PAGE IMG on EEBO site and elsewhere. Text at Michigan TCP site: Charters in a cartulary (or rather in a section of a history that serves as a cartulary) concluding with the bibliographical source of the charter, e.g. Termino Sanctae Trinitatis, Anno Regni Regis Henrici Septimi vice&s;imo, Rotulo Dviii. These had been tagged as BIBL within TRAILER, which seems fine: it's what one might do if they appeared as HEADs.
TCP ID: A55498 ; STC: WP2999 in phase 1 batch 2004-02. PAGE IMG on EEBO site Text at Michigan TCP site: A motet, mostly just musical notation, but indicating at its end that the words are to be taken from Psalm 134. Tagged as BIBL within TRAILER which seems fair.
TCP ID: A59608 ; STC: WS3046 in phase 2 batch 2012-05. PAGE IMG on EEBO site Text at Michigan TCP site: Latin couplet following the signature of a preface. Might as well tag it as EPIGRAPH.
TCP ID: A64889 ; STC: WV297 in phase 1 batch 2005-10. PAGE IMG on EEBO site Text at Michigan TCP site: One of the common laus deo variants ("Trin-Uni Deo sit omnis Honor & Gloria.") had been tagged as Q within TRAILER. By inhouse convention we usually tag these loose within CLOSER without Q. Probably abusively. But for consistency's sake made that change.
TCP ID: A67545 ; STC: WW793 in phase 1 batch 2008-09. PAGE IMG on EEBO site Text at Michigan TCP site: A list of names at the end of a broadside 'report' at least ostensibly addressed to the 'Lords Commissioners for the Treaty of COmmerce with France'. These had been tagged as LIST within TRAILER, probably because it was unclear who the people were. Probably best assumption is that they are the signatories. Moved to LIST within SIGNED.
TCP ID: A68040 ; STC: S10649 in phase 2 batch 2011-06. PAGE IMG on EEBO site Text at Michigan TCP site: A couplet at the end of the preface had been tagged in L within TRAILER. Seems more like a signature of sorts to me, or at least something in lieu of signature "I am thy Friend though unknowne, / &s;o farre as I am be my own." Salute is also possible? Changed to LG within SIGNED.
TCP ID: A68694 ; STC: S21690 in phase 1 batch 2005-04. PAGE IMG on EEBO site and here and here and here etc etc. Text at Michigan TCP site: Excellent example of true trailer in verse, e.g. "Thus Exodus is finished, / just fortie chapters all / Leviticus comes next to it / which haue likewise ye shall."
TCP ID: A69753 ; STC: WC4226 and WC4225 in phase 1 batch 2004-07. PAGE IMG on EEBO site Text at Michigan TCP site: A Latin couplet at the conclusion of a DIV. As with other examples above, we'd now tag this as epigraph.
TCP ID: A75033 ; STC: WA1200 in phase 1 batch 2009-02. PAGE IMG on EEBO site Text at Michigan TCP site: The concluding couplet of an elegy, formatted distinctively in the source, had been tagged as L within TRAILER. Such couplets often provide a conclusion or draw a moral, but are not TRAILERs in the usual sense. Best tagged simply as LG, perhaps with a @TYPE and/or @REND.
TCP ID: A76066 ; STC: WB1007 in phase 1 batch 2008-09. PAGE IMG on EEBO site Text at Michigan TCP site: Another Latin couplet at the conclusion of a DIV. As with other examples above, we'd probably now tag this as an epigraph.
TCP ID: A87070 ; STC: WH655A in phase 2 batch 2011-06. PAGE IMG on EEBO site Text at Michigan TCP site: A prime example of a trailer in verse ("Instead of FINIS this advice I send / Let Rogues and Thieves beware of Hamans END.")
TCP ID: A87181 ; STC: WH976 in phase 2 batch 2009-09. PAGE IMG on EEBO site Text at Michigan TCP site: Latin couplet at end of div, partly in the "Gloria Deo" class (which we normally place untagged in CLOSER, but cannot do so here because CLOSER does not allow L or Q either. Placed in L within Q within TRAILER as the next best choice. Probably would be tagged as EPIGRAPH these days; so changed. ("Nihil et natum et perfectum, / Gloria in excelsis Deo, sit salvus populus.")
TCP ID: A88381 ; STC: WL2594E in phase 2 batch 2010-04. PAGE IMG on EEBO site Text at Michigan TCP site: Mysterious Latin lines at the close of an elegy. Frankly do not understand them, or know for certain even that they are verse. Since they do not follow any other div-bottom material, agnostic treatment would be to simply tag them as an extra LG at the end of the poem rather than as L within Q or EPIGRAPH or TRAILER. So done.
TCP ID: A89408 ; STC: WM3065 in phase 2 batch 2011-06. PAGE IMG on EEBO site Text at Michigan TCP site: A hymn quoted from John Cosin's (Bishop of Durham) Collection of Private Devotions, placed here at the end of a DIV. Could tag simply as Q or as Q within EPIGRAPH. No need or justification for placing it within TRAILER.
TCP ID: B02734 ; STC: WD1840 in phase 1 batch 2009-02. PAGE IMG on EEBO site Text at Michigan TCP site: A nice one. The last two words of the final stanza of a ballad have been made to do double duty as part of the ballad proper and as a "FINIS" to the whole: "But Dolly lives bravely, and her I commend, / For honesty always will thrive in .. THE END." Tagged within L within TRAILER, which seems right.
TCP ID: B04487 ; STC: WN107 in phase 2 batch 2011-06. PAGE IMG on EEBO site Text at Michigan TCP site: A good example of LIST within TRAILER. As with A50781, we customarily tag 'directions' (i.e. designation of recipient or addressee) as HEAD or TRAILER (depending on position). In this case the addressee is a list: "Directed, To the Right Honourable Algernon ... To James Earl of March ... To Jerom Earl of Portland ... To George Goring Esq;" LIST within TRAILER seems right.
TCP ID: B04766 ; STC: WP2743A in phase 2 batch 2011-06. PAGE IMG on EEBO site Text at Michigan TCP site: Quotation from Psalm 203 at the conclusion of a DIV (after the FINIS.) We would normally tag this as Q within EPIGRAPH these days, rather than as Q within TRAILER. So changed.
TCP ID: B04950 ; STC: WP863A in phase 2 batch 2011-06. PAGE IMG on EEBO site Text at Michigan TCP site: As often with liturgy or quasi-liturgical material, there is a poor fit with TEI's core tags. Noticed that this book concludes prayers "by the same Lord" (per eundem Dominum)" which had been tagged as TRAILERs. I would probably make them CLOSERs if anything (since they have a certain Amen-like quality to them), but perhaps as nothing but P (or AB). These are not the exceptions, however. The only exception was the couplet (?) "Glory be to Jesus and Mary / As it was, is, and ever shall be, Amen" at the close of a hymn. Which may or may not be verse, may or may not be a kind of closer. Had been tagged as L within TRAILER (because L within CLOSER not available?), but could as easily simply be tagged as LG, or even as L. So changed.

SIGNED at div-top without OPENER wrapper.

TCP ID: A26154 ; STC: WA4151 in phase 1 batch 2003-12. PAGE IMG on EEBO site Text at Michigan TCP site: Only exception appears to be SIGNED appearing at DIV-TOP position without OPENER as wrapper. We'd normally wrap this in OPENER anyway. So changed.

TCP ID: A36554 ; STC: WD2182 in phase 1 batch 2007-02. PAGE IMG on EEBO site Text at Michigan TCP site: Ditto.

L. a ddeisyf ras a thangneddyf yn y byd hwn, a dedwyddwch tragywyddol yn y byd a ddaw." : theoretically the entire dedication could be placed in opener or closer tags, with subelements. It is, after all, but a single sentence.
TCP ID: A37296 ; STC: WD486 in phase 1 batch 2008-09. PAGE IMG on EEBO site Text at Michigan TCP site: Another stand-alone SIGNED at the top. This one perhaps better tagged as BYLINE. So changed.
TCP ID: A48960 ; STC: WL2834 in phase 1 batch 2002-05. PAGE IMG on EEBO site Text at Michigan TCP site: SIGNED at top should have been wrapped in OPENER with accompanying SALUTE. So changed.

TCP ID: A56659 ; STC: WP796 in phase 2 batch 2011-06. PAGE IMG on EEBO site Text at Michigan TCP site: SIGNED used alone at top in simple mistake for SALUTE ("SIR"). Fixed.
TCP ID: A67914 ; STC: WS5175 in phase 1 batch 2002-12. PAGE IMG on EEBO site and here and here and here and here ; Text at Michigan TCP site: Just more examples of the royal signature (byline??) at the head of proclamations. Wrapped in OPENER to be consistent with other examples.
