Transcriber’s Notes

Spelling variants, inconsistent, archaic and unusual spelling, hyphenation, capitalisation, use of accents, etc., also in proper and geographical names and in non-English words, have been retained, except as listed under Changes below. The names of peoples, tribes, other groups and localities in particular occur in different varieties, either accidentally or deliberately. Factual and textual errors, inconsistencies and contradictions have not been corrected or standardised.

Depending on the hard- and software used to read this text, not all elements may display as intended.

Index: the deviations from the alphabetical order of the main entries have not been corrected.
