Note: in the informal notes made whilst working on the material, abbreviations were used in an ad hoc way. We have decided to make these informal notes available on the website (see, for example, under ‘View LangScape Notes’ in the Text Displays and ‘Comments’ in the Glossaries). Many of the abbreviations, together with abbreviations used in the Variant Readings section of our Semi-diplomatic Text Displays match those found in the appropriate entry in eSawyer’s Bibliography.
