TRANSCRIBER'S NOTES

TEXT CONVENTIONS

Text surrounded by underscores (_text_) indicates italics in the
original.

Text surrounded by tildes (~text~) indicates bold in the original.

'Folio' abbreviation: The original has two versions. 'F' or 'f'
followed by superscripted 'o' is transcribed F^o/f^o.
'fo.'/'fos.' is transcribed 'fo.'/'fos.'.

[Cross] is used where the text had a single character that resembled a
Maltese Cross, and denotes year of death.

Footnotes have been moved from the bottom of each page to the end
of each chapter, and renumbered by chapter.

CHANGES FROM THE ORIGINAL TEXT

In many spots in the scans, primarily in footnote citations,
periods and commas are partially or completely obscured, with
white space where the mark would logically appear. Where the scan
is unclear, punctuation has been transcribed to match the most
common use in the book. Where the punctuation is different from
common usage, but clearly present (i.e. no extra white space
after an abbreviation or full comma where a period seems to make
more sense), the scans have been replicated.

There were a number of incidences of missing closing quotation
marks, particularly for dialog or prayers. These have been
corrected without further comment.

Two lines missing from the translation of the prayer commonly
known as "The Canticle of All Creatures" (Chapter XVII) have been
added. The added text is shown in braces ({}).

'Analecta Fracniscana' in CRITICAL STUDY OF THE WORKS, Section IV,
Part III, Footnote 9 was changed to 'Analecta Franciscana'.

'Served by a poor priest who scarely' in Chapter IV was changed to
'Served by a poor priest who scarcely'.

In the original text, 'obediunt' was NOT italicized in the
following quotation: "Videmus primus ordinis fundatorem magestrum
cui tanquam summo Priori suo omnes alii obediunt." (CRITICAL
STUDY OF THE WORKS, Section III, Part V, Footnote 4). It is
italicized here.

Chapter XV, footnote 4 had no anchor marker in the original text.
The placement of this marker in this transcription is not confirmed.
