Orthography. The Chronicle section is written in 15th-Century English. The original spelling, punctuation, capitalization, and hyphenation have been preserved in this e-book.
Numbers and dates in lowercase Roman numerals often end in a “j,” signifying “i.”
Blank spaces in the text are represented by long dashes (——).
The original contains numerous sidenotes. In the Chronicle section, sidenotes marked with an asterisk were added by the editors and are here treated as footnotes.
