Errata

How to report an error. This is a static site: there is no form and no server to receive one, so a report is an email. The contact address the site carries is on the about page, naming the edition, the repair id above or the section and printed page, and what the print or the page image shows instead. A correction that names a witness is the kind this library is built from — the transcription’s own context, a parallel edition, or the page image — and a report that names one is acted on as a new rule in a new version, never as a silent edit to the served text.

The Elements of Theology — Proclus, tr. Thomas Taylor

The state of this edition. repaired — finished: every damaged word and every standalone marker the scanner left has been cleared against the printed page. The reading view shows no damage character at all — every repair the print called for is applied against the 1816 print, its Greek restored from the page images where the letters had been read as Latin lookalikes. One note stands as the transcription has it, the footnote to Proposition XXVII on printed page 321, because the page itself will not read: repeated reads of that one line disagree, so it is left VISIBLE rather than guessed. A second whole-text read has been run over the whole volume.

415 repair rules in all; 0 of them are listed below, being the rules whose TYPE rested on judgment and which await human review — every rule that is conjectural, and every rule the migration flagged. Each one still fires in the served text and is applied by the reading view; what is open is whether the type it was given is the right one, not whether the repair was made. The edition's whole log, rule by rule, is in its own apparatus.

No rule awaits review.

On the Cave of the Nymphs — Porphyry, tr. Thomas Taylor

The state of this edition. repaired — every damaged place a witness could settle has been settled — against the transcription’s own context, the 1823 parallel of the same translation, or the printed page itself, read one page at a time. What remains is not the book’s text: the page furniture at one page break (a recorded decision to leave it visible) and this copy’s own marks. A second whole-text read has not been run, so the claim is that the found damage is settled, not that nothing further is findable.

384 repair rules in all; 1 of them are listed below, being the rules whose TYPE rested on judgment and which await human review — every rule that is conjectural, and every rule the migration flagged. Each one still fires in the served text and is applied by the reading view; what is open is whether the type it was given is the right one, not whether the repair was made. The edition's whole log, rule by rule, is in its own apparatus.

   The plural 's' is missing from 'rivers' — a wrong word with no damage character, invisible to the census (class 2). (The space before the semicolon is normalized away before the rules run.)
