We are not attempting a diplomatic edition, but a readable English/Latin edition. We are keeping Harriot’s orthography, but silently expanding abbreviations.

Next Steps: Post Transcription

Orthography:

• Us and Vs will not be modernized in words such as “vniuersally.”

• We will preserve spelling TBD. See per superfices [sic] https://www.notion.so/Add_ms_6782_f370r-Transcription-Page-e58446a9a17c4fb09d0ee9dad4a17b90

• -ij- is preserved. See alijs https://www.notion.so/Add_ms_6782_f374v-Transcription-Page-5c5192f926214144b5ed3e13cd229eae

• We will be preserving original punctuation.

  • Ampersands are rendered as: &.

  • Curly brackets? TBD

  • Headings that are much bigger in the page?

  • Line breaks: for example, suffi-

    cienty

    See https://www.notion.so/Add_ms_6782_f373r-Transcription-Page-0a014795ee714c0e8fd218fd8fb9a151

• We will be preserving original capitalization. New sentence lines in a paragraph, thus, might start as lowercase. New paragraphs tend to start uppercase.

  • “[…] For suppose the line ab |” Capital F is written as a double lowercase f. See https://www.notion.so/Add_ms_6782_f369r-Transcription-Page-ba6991d27e6d44fbb323ea1f1ff8a97c

• We will expand abbreviations, for example q3 is written que. No editorial signs

• We will be preserving the original line breaks. (using the vertical pipe symbol “|” and new line)

  • The symbol used for end of line so far does appear in the manuscript, though… https://drive.google.com/file/d/1lwQPwfzwejFsBomJ6gy6faL74mQGzpgT/view

• New paragraphs are marked with two pipe symbols “||”

  • Parallel symbol is the same… https://www.notion.so/Add_ms_6782_f375r-Transcription-Page-997885013e4a451a96e00dd0dc0b7df9

• We are transcribing erasures wherever legible with strike-through (e.g., progression), and we are denoting added text with carets (<,>), e.g. yet <for a> at last

• Geometrical notations: points, lines, and angles are marked as given [TBD]

• Diagrams are discussed, as documented in Notion Comments field. Are diagrams described later perhaps? [TBD]

• Lines are drawn, at times, between paragraphs [TBD]

• How about the diagrams? Figures: vector graphics? Redone?

Page Layout

• Transcription order [TBD]
• Upside down notes? [TBD]
• In the order that written areas seem to ‘belong to each other” (SC)
