Transcriber’s Notes

General Notes

The different sections of the book were written by different authors; inconsistent spelling, lay-out, capitalisation, phonetics, use of ligatures and diacritics, spacing of abbreviations, transcription, punctuation, etc. have therefore been retained (incl. canon/canyon/cañon; Spencer/Spenser; i.e./i. e., A.D./A. D., etc.) except as mentioned below. The same applies to textual and factual inconsistencies and contradictions.

The order of entries in alphabetical lists is not always truly alphabetical; this has not been changed.

The various lists and tables of contents have only been linked to the relevant chapters and sections if there is an unambiguous relationship between the two. In some cases the items from the lists of contents are discussed in several places; in these cases, no links have been provided.

The use of section headings in the printed work was not always unambiguous, nor was their hierarchy. Section headings in this text are therefore based on the printed book’s typography and on apparent logic, and may not reflect the authors’ intentions. Some sections have no section headings as such.

Several subjects mentioned in the various lists of contents are not present in the original work; similarly, several internal references do not exist in the printed work.
