Einrichtung der Ausgabe.

An erster Stelle steht der Text der Fassung a mit C oder, soweit dieses lückenhaft ist, mit W als Grundlage. Von b wurden nur die abweichenden Textstellen, und zwar unter dem Striche kursiv abgedruckt. Hier bildet, soweit dies möglich ist, A die Grundlage des Textes.

Die Varianten bieten alle abweichenden Lesarten der übrigen Hss., mit Ausschluß rein orthographischer Ver∣schiedenheiten, wie Wechsel zwischen i und y; i und j; ai, ei, ay, ey untereinander; c und k vor a, o, u; c und s vor e und i; gh und ȝ; ff und f im Wortanlaut und in of, off; sch und sh; þ und th; e und i in Endungssilben. Da es sich um späte Hss. handelt, konnte auch das von den einzelnen Schreibern willkürlich gehandhabte Schreiben oder Nicht∣schreiben eines End-e und die verschiedene Art der Be∣zeichnung oder Nichtbezeichnung der Vokallänge durch Doppelschreiben, Stellung in offener Silbe oder auch in geschlossener vor einfachem Konsonanten vernachlässigt werden. Außerdem wurden folgende orthographische Eigen∣tümlichkeiten einzelner Hss. nur einmal hervorgehoben und dann nicht mehr beachtet:

Die Verwen∣dung der großen und kleinen Anfangsbuchstaben und der Interpunktionszeichen wurde nach dem heutigen Gebrauche geregelt. Die Haken über manchen Buchstaben (n, r) oder die Schwänze nach t wurden im allgemeinen als e aufgelöst, Haken über n in der flexivischen Endung-en in B D jedoch nicht beachtet.
