[This text] includes characters that require UTF-8 (Unicode) file encoding:
ã ẽ ĩ õ ũ (vowels with overline, shown here as a tilde)
ἐίπερ γὰρ ἀδικεῖμ χρὴ (Greek, mainly in the introduction)
If any of these characters do not display properly—in particular, if the diacritic does not appear directly above the letter—or if the apostrophes and quotation marks in this paragraph appear as garbage, you may have an incompatible browser or unavailable fonts. First, make sure that the browser’s “character set” or “file encoding” is set to Unicode (UTF-8). You may also need to change your browser’s default font.
Unless otherwise noted, spelling, punctuation and capitalization are unchanged. Text in sans-serif type was originally printed in blackletter (“Gothic”, Old English). Typographical errors are marked in the text with mouse-hover popups. Transliteration of single Greek words and short phrases is shown in the same way; the longer Greek passages from the introduction are given at the end of the e-text.
The book does not have page numbers. Instead, it labeled the recto (odd) pages of the first few leaves of each 8-page signature. These will appear in the right margin as A.i., A.ij., A.iij.... Page numbers in brackets, including all verso (v) pages, were added by the transcriber.
Any problems or explanations too long or complicated to fit into a popup are noted either in a separate paragraph or at the [end of the e-text].
