Transcriber’s Notes:
This volume contains the table of contents for both Volumes 1 and 2. The index, contained at the end of Volume 2, was duplicated and added to this book. Only the Table of Contents and index pages associated with Volume 1 have been linked within this e-book.
For web pages that do not use cascading style sheets (CSS) and for some ebook readers, sidenotes within a paragraph may appear surrounded by pipes (|). In ebook readers, sidenotes should appear highlighted.
Transliterations of words and phrases in Greek were added, indicated by dotted lines under the text. Scroll the mouse over the words and the transliteration will appear.
Footnotes were renumbered sequentially, indented, and moved to follow the numbered section in which the related anchor occurs.
The author/editor usually omitted quotation marks around cited text; this was not changed. All other punctuation and accents marks were standardized.
Words with missing or partially printed letters were completed. Obvious spelling errors were corrected. Capitalization of words was corrected, where appropriate. Obsolete and archaic spellings were retained. Variations of names that appear more than once were left unchanged (e.g. Boccace vs. Boccaccio and Zwingle vs. Zuingle). Other corrections are listed below.
