Excerpt from Two of the Saxon Chronicles Parallel, Vol. 1: With Supplementary Extracts From the Others; Text, Appendices and Glossary
A word must be said as to the punctuation. Here, too, I have endeavoured to mark the peculiarities of the mss. The only stops which occur in the mss. Are as a rule the point either on or above the line the inverted semicolon (f), and the peculiar stops which occur in ms. R, represented in the text approximately by (r) and All these have been retained; stops not in the mss. Are represented by commas and semicolons. In a few instances, so few that they might I think be counted on the fingers of one hand, the colon and semicolon do occur in the mss.; here the colon has been retained, the semicolon has been inverted.
The text of E. Has been considerably interpolated. In a few cases these additions are in good and fairly early hands. Such passages are printed in smaller type, but not in italics. The bulk of these interpolations, however, are due to a hand of the twelfth century, and are given in small italics.
Letters or words wanting in any MS and supplied from other sources, are enclosed in square brackets.
Passages in F. Which are enclosed in round brackets are in the ms. Insertions on the margin or above the line. In many cases it is very difficult to determine whether they are by the same hand as the text or a different one.
