Summary
These texts are not claimed as editions; rather they are intended to be critical transcriptions, based on manuscripts that are good enough to allow an adequate rendering.
Spelling has, by and large, been regularised, although certain medieval traits are retained (such as -e for -ae); -ci- has been replaced by -ti-; occasionally, where called for, an -i- has been replaced by -e-. Numbers have been regularised. Certain common spelling variants or consistent, if peculiar, abbreviations have not been recorded in the footnotes, such as set for sed, or seu for sive, michi for mihi. Words in square brackets [ ] in the main text have been added for better sense.
