Superscripted letters have been preceded by ^, and the letter n with a macron above it has been represented as [=n]. Some presumed printer's errors have been corrected, including normalizing punctuation. Unusual spellings and alternate spellings were preserved as printed, except where noted below. The variable spelling of proper names is addressed by the editor in the introduction (here) and in the preamble to the Index and Glossary (here). Therefore, in the few cases that a correction has been made to a proper name, the rationale for that correction has been provided. Corrections are listed below with the printed text (top) and corrected text (bottom): love for her whom he does not know to he his sister (p. xi) love for her whom he does not know to be his sister mediaeval (p. xiv) mediæval Marte phalanges.
