It is curious that lines 12 and 13 are bracketed together as though they rhyme even though they end in "ydelve" and "byse" respectively.

Line 25: the mark between "Erch" and "bisshop" is very curious.

line 25: "his heste was fol wel iholde · me aueg hom [?]air Inouh ·" I think, that "aueg"= reduction from "vndurfeng".

Line 1 and Line 18 need to be coded for red, but the span tags did not work, so I removed them, so that the text could be saved.

Line 14 - probably meant to be "thereof", but there is no marking around the thorn.

Line 39 - I cannot make out that final word - "rune"? To rhyme, it wants to be "rine"

Line 19: "Dede" has three dots under the "e" - possibly to stress / lengthen the vowel. (I.e. NOT dead).

If the Tironian note is showing up as a rectangle in the transcription window, I believe that is only because of the font and/or the From the Page framework. It will still function correctly even if it looks that way.

In the rubric "Seint Austin Þe prechour," "Austin" is written on a parchment patch over another erased word. The hand and ink on the patch are the same as the rest of the rubric, suggesting it was placed there at the time of the manuscript's copyi...

Aaron, a couple of questions: did you only have one page? And are we transcribing 'wt' with the superscript T and expanding the abbreviation? I want to be consistent. I think there was a discussion in one of the Slack channels about how to tag t...

I think deletions, like the deleted line, are just marked <del></del>. There's a button at the top that will do it for you.

What I did was that first I finished the whole text and then I migrated it to a Word doc (or Google doc) and did a universal replace. Then I patched it back in.

In this manuscript, some words (e.g. "anon", "inovȝ") are written in a tricky way, so it is not easy to say whether the prefixes are separated or not

Update: I'm having trouble using the ⁊ sign in the transcription area; and so I'll use a 7 as a temporary replacement.

Line 3 - the mark over the M on "cristendom" makes me convinced that a lot of the marks over 'n' and 'm' are there to indicate you read those minims together.

Observations: - I seem to be getting my lowercase vs and fs confused, and I'm also unsure about what appears to be a capital G (which I think is likely a capital V or F). - I need to go back and figure out the TEI coding for these marginal wor...

Line 23 - Capital E?? - maybe C? Cine? for kin?

Line 22 - hy[m] is rendered slightly differently both times. There is a superscript above the "n" in "inowe", but it doesn't look like a double "n" sign.

Line 20 - ythrof? Obviously some form of "thrived", but I'm unclear how.

This scribe didn't alternate red and blue paraphs across the page, but by column.

This scribe tends to favor 'ir' spellings over 'er' spellings, ('undirstonde', 'nevir', etc.)

The character just to the left of the capital 'S' at the beginning of the text is a minuscule 's', indicating to the rubricator / decorator that that was the letter they were supposed to draw in.

Upper- vs. lower-case letters is tough here.

This spacing and red-pricking technique is used in other Middle English poetry manuscripts too: the Auchinleck manuscript (National Library of Scotland, Advocates MS 19.2.1 I think) is full of it. It may have helped the scribe avoid line-skipping ...

The most of initial letters and letters after colons have red stains. Probably, they also are used in decorative way.

The initial letters of each line in this manuscript are separated from the line itself. These letters, so-called litterae notabiliores, have a decorative purpose.

Line 4 and elsewhere - I'm feeling like the superscript over the final "n" is to emphasise that it is an "n", and not anything else. I can't see why the scribe would want to double them.

Line 23,24, 25 - superscript dash at top of final n - I think it's another n? Line 33 "swich" or "swith"? Interesting that there are only 39 lines - leaving the last couplet un-bound as it were. Plenty of margin space for illustrations/marginalia.

Initial S is blue, two lines high, and surrounded with red swirls to indicate the start of the Life. Couplets are joined with red lines at the end of each line.
