+
+[Transcriber’s Note:
+
+This e-text includes characters that will only display in UTF-8
+(Unicode) file encoding, including but not limited to:
+
+  Ȝ, ȝ (yogh)
+  ⁊ (Tironian ampersand)
+  þ̵ (thorn with stroke--also see below)
+  ę (e with tail, “e caudata”)
+  ẏ (y with over-dot)
+
+All but the first three are rare, or occur only in notes.
+
+If any of these characters do not display properly, or if the
+apostrophes and quotation marks in this paragraph appear as garbage,
+make sure your text reader’s “character set” or “file encoding” is set
+to Unicode (UTF-8). You may also need to change the default font. As a
+last resort, use the Latin-1 version of this file instead.
+
+The form {} represents a half-width space, generally between prefix and
+main word. These are not always unambigous; readers should consult page
+images or a printed text. The {;} is a punctuation mark similar to a
+semicolon. Note that because of font availability, “thorn with stroke”
+is shown as separate characters, þ or Þ with combining -. If your text
+reader can display the single-character forms Ꝥ and ꝥ (hex A764 and
+A765), feel free to replace them globally.
+
+A few selections use additional, very unusual letters that will be
+explained as they appear.
+
+In the last three selections, doubled ¶¶ represents the large C-like
+paragraph symbol. In Orm and earlier selections, ¶ is as printed.
+
+Italicized letters or parts of words, indicating expanded abbreviations,
+are shown in {braces}. Spaced-out text, used mainly for Latin
+quotations, is marked with _lines_. Boldface is shown with +marks+,
+while large initial capitals are shown with double ++marks before the
+letter. Superscript letters are shown with ^.
+
+The Notes were published in a separate volume, in preparation at the
+time this e-text was produced (August 2008). For each selection, the
+bracketed paragraph describing the MSS. has been summarized from these
+Notes; additions or omissions shown by ellipses or brackets according to
+the usual rules for academic quotation.
+
+Further details about the format of this e-text are at the end of the
+text. All notes in [[double brackets]] were added by the transcriber.]

+PREFACE
+
+
+Some of the texts in this book have already appeared in the Specimens
+of Early English edited by the Rev. Richard Morris. But Nos. i, ii, iv,
+vii, xiii and xv are new, the important shorter pieces, Nos. vi, viii,
+xvi, xviii, xxi and xxiii, are printed in full, and some, as Nos. viii
+and ix, are taken from additional or better manuscripts. The pieces are
+arranged tentatively in what appears to be the chronological order of
+their composition, but Nos. xix and xvii should have come before the
+Ancrene Wisse, and No. vii has been placed next to the Proverbs of
+Alfred, from which it appears to be derived. It is hoped that those who
+study the older book will find in the present one a useful supplement.
+
+The texts follow the manuscripts in all details. The syntax being
+comparatively simple, there is not much to be gained by modern
+punctuation, and that of the manuscripts has gained a fresh importance
+from theories which have been founded upon it. Where obvious mistakes
+have been corrected in the text, notice is always given in the
+footnotes. Additions are made within square brackets, and
+interlineations are printed between accents.
+
+My best thanks are due to the custodians of the libraries for the
+facilities which with uniform kindness they extended to me in the
+collation of the manuscripts.

+I. WORCESTER FRAGMENTS
+
+[[MS description from Notes volume:
+
+“Worcester Cathedral Library, 174.... Its contents are ... (2) the scrap
+here marked A; (3) the pieces B and C with five more fragments of the
+same poem. A completes the page on which the glossary ends, and B is on
+the verso of the leaf. The leaves have been slightly shorn at one side
+and reduced at top and bottom, but probably to no great extent: the
+conjectural complement, which is here printed within square brackets, is
+for the most part fairly obvious, the more so as portions of the lost
+letters often remain. The whole MS. is in the same large square hand,
+but the pieces in verse, which are written continuously, like prose, are
+less carefully executed. The handwriting is of the second half of the
+twelfth century, perhaps about 1180 A.D. The Latin headings are not in
+the MS.”]]

+
+[[MS description from Notes volume:
+
+“Jesus College, Oxford, E 29, formerly Arch. i. 29 (J).... written not
+long after 1276 (Anglia xxx, 222).... Our piece is written continuously
+as prose, each stanza forming a paragraph, but iv and v are in one
+without l. 54, which is here supplied, while l. 43 is written at the end
+of the preceding paragraph and similarly the lines beginning viii-xvii,
+xix-xxiii. The scribe was evidently struggling with an original which he
+could not always read; see footnote to l. 105.
+
+“.... the copy of the Poema Morale in the same MS. has undergone a
+drastic revision which sets it apart among the versions of that poem,
+and the version of the Owl and Nightingale has suffered, though not to
+the same extent. On the other hand MS. T was copied by a man who was
+incapable of remodelling it; though a ruin, it often preserves in
+details the original.”]]

+VIII. POEMA MORALE
+
+[[MS description from Notes volume:
+
+“i. Lambeth 487 (L), a small quarto, 177 × 135 mm., of 67 leaves,
+written towards the end of the twelfth century... nos. x, xi. of this
+book are also taken from it. The words printed in clarendon in these
+three pieces are written in red, not inserted afterwards by a rubricator
+but done at the same time as the rest of the text. The PM ends with
+fordemet, l. 270, in the middle of a page; the final t has a flourish
+for its cross stroke; the copyist had apparently no knowledge of any
+more.
+
+“ii. iii. Egerton 613, B. M.... has two copies of the PM: the second (e)
+furnishes here a complement to the Lambeth MS. as far as l. 370, with
+which it ends; the first (E) is used to complete the text. e was written
+in the first quarter of the thirteenth century, E is somewhat later; the
+former has accents, the latter none.
+
+“iv. Trinity College, Cambridge, B. 14. 52 (T), on vellum, 135 × 105
+mm.; written early in the thirteenth century.... A leaf is lost after
+f 8, and a new hand begins with f 9; the PM appears to be a distinct MS.
+(Anglia, iv. 408). The initials of each line are capitals and written
+apart from their words. A later hand has glossed aihte 42, goodes; ore
+53, favour, grace; lean 64, deserving; manke 70, Manca, Mancus.”]]

+
+THE ORMULUM
+
+[[MS description from Notes volume:
+
+“Junius 1, Bodleian Library, Oxford: an oblong folio, written in double
+columns on 118 leaves of parchment varying considerably in size, the
+largest being 508 × 200 mm.; about 1210 A.D., and an autograph, but
+corrected by a second and third hand.”]]
+
+
+[[Further detail from Notes volume:
+
+“Orm supplemented the current graphic methods by devices of his own.
+Thus he systematically doubled a consonant after a short vowel in a
+closed syllable, so tunnderrstanndenn 109. Whether he meant thereby
+to indicate shortness of the vowel or length of the consonant is
+disputed.... Where the consonant after an open syllable is in fact
+short, Orm often places a breve over the preceding short vowel....
+Likewise he uses very seldom an almost horizontal accent to indicate
+vowel length, as á 174, but more frequently, as if to emphasize his
+warning against possible error, doubles it ... even for greater
+insistence trebles it ... mostly before final t.
+
+“Furthermore, Orm invented a special symbol {g} with a flat top
+projecting on both sides for the guttural stop g, reserving the
+continental g for the dzh sound in such words as egge (edge), leggen,
+seggen: the latter occurs in this extract only in gluternesse 167, and
+that by mistake.”]]
+
+
+[[In the e-text, ordinary capital G was used for capital insular g (ᵹ)
+because font support for the correct form Ᵹ (hex A77D) is extremely
+limited. The printed linenotes almost always use yogh (ȝ) for insular
+g (ᵹ), and plain g for Orm’s unique {g}.
+
+In this selection, all lines have been split at the caesura for length,
+with the second half shown deeply indented.]]

+[[MS description from Notes volume:
+
+“i. Bodleian 34, Oxford (B); on vellum, 165 × 120 mm.; written in one
+hand throughout about 1210 A.D.... It has lost two leaves after f. 80,
+which is very faint and defective. Entries in fourteenth-century hands
+connect it with Ledbury, Godstow, and Magna Coworne (Much Cowarne) in
+Herefordshire. The text is printed from this manuscript up to its end at
+127/4.
+
+“The writing is sometimes difficult to decipher; the letters are often
+crowded and hesitating, a, e, o are sometimes hard to distinguish.
+Doubts are permissible in the following cases, hwen _or_ hwon 118/24,
+ihaten _or_ ihoten 37, hondon _or_ honden 51; in sent 55, the last
+letter wavers between t and d; in ȝemelese 56, ȝ appears to have been
+corrected out of g; after mei 60, there is a half-formed c; under the
+second o of preoouin 72, there is what looks like a casual pen mark,
+not a dot of erasure; in seoueuald 287, d is corrected out of t, or the
+reverse.
+
+“ii. Royal 17 A 27, British Museum (R); on vellum, 160 × 117 mm.; early
+thirteenth century. Has all the pieces in B except Hali Meidenhad, with
+the addition of an incomplete copy of the Oreisun of Seinte Marie
+(printed in OEH i., p. 305). This manuscript supplies the end here from
+127/4.

+
+[[MS description from Notes volume:
+
+“i. Jesus College, Oxford, E 29 (J); see [VI, Alfred]. ii. Cotton
+Caligula A 9, British Museum (C); see XIV, Laȝamon. They are copies of
+a common exemplar X, which was probably taken directly from the poet’s
+original. X was written by two scribes; the work of the first is
+represented in ll. 1-353 of the present selection; that of the second
+in ll. 354-437; the former was accustomed to French scribal methods.
+The writer of C was a mechanical copyist and not at home in English,
+consequently he reproduces X with tolerable accuracy. The scribe of J
+was more independent (see [VI, Alfred, second paragraph in the
+e-text]).”]]

+XXI. THE BESTIARY
+
+[[MS description from Notes volume:
+
+“Arundel 292, British Museum: on vellum, 200 × 130 mm.: late thirteenth
+century.... The Bestiary is written continuously, but the initials of
+the lines and, in the long metres, of the half lines are mostly
+rubricated.... Latin headings are in red, some are on the margin,
+the others at the head of their sections. As will be seen from the
+footnotes, the manuscript was much corrected or altered over erasures,
+and that after it was finished, for the substituted words do not always
+fill the gaps left by the scraper. The first leaves of the exemplar were
+probably damaged at the lower margin, since defective or difficult
+passages occur at regular intervals, so l. 32, ll. 89-92, 120, 121, 143,
+144, 173, 200, 201.”]]

+[Design of the e-text:
+
+Lines of prose have been shortened for readability. The original line
+numbers are shown in {braces} within the text. Mid-line caesuras are
+marked as in the original, with   additional   space.
+
+Page numbers from the source MSS are shown as printed--inline in the
+prose passages, marginal in verse--with their original brackets. Page
+breaks in verse were marked with a simple line |.
+
+In Linenotes and Collations, single | and double || lines have been
+added by the transcriber where the original used extra space between
+entries.
+
+Several selections offer parallel readings from two or more MSS,
+originally printed on facing pages. These parallel readings are shown
+in sequence, with differing amounts of indentation; long prose passages
+have been broken into smaller units for easier comparison.
+
+
+Editorial material:
+
+As explained in the editor’s Introduction, “Additions are made within
+square brackets, and interlineations are printed between accents.”
+Brackets added by the transcriber are also used to enclose footnotes and
+similar multi-line blocks of text. The `accents´ occur in pairs, and are
+used nowhere else. Some selections use *asterisks*, also in pairs.
+
+In notes and other editorial material, _lines_ represent italics.
+Headnotes were retained only when they contain text that does not appear
+elsewhere on the page.
+
+
+Errors and Inconsistencies:
+
+A few Linenotes were separated by semicolons (;) instead of extra space;

+Line numbers are in multiples of 5. Both in the e-text and in the

+such as unusually long lines, or to avoid collision with marginal folio
+numbers.

+identified by selection number. These were randomly printed in upper or
+lower case, as “XVII” or “xvii”.]

+
+1.B.  "Project Gutenberg" is a registered trademark.  It may only be

+agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement.  There are a few
+things that you can do with most Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
+even without complying with the full terms of this agreement.  See
+paragraph 1.C below.  There are a lot of things you can do with Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works if you follow the terms of this agreement

+
+1.C.  The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the Foundation"
+or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection of Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works.  Nearly all the individual works in the
+collection are in the public domain in the United States.  If an
+individual work is in the public domain in the United States and you are
+located in the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from
+copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative
+works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg
+are removed.  Of course, we hope that you will support the Project
+Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting free access to electronic works by
+freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm works in compliance with the terms of
+this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with
+the work.  You can easily comply with the terms of this agreement by
+keeping this work in the same format with its attached full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License when you share it without charge with others.
+
+1.D.  The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern
+what you can do with this work.  Copyright laws in most countries are in

+the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this agreement
+before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or
+creating derivative works based on this work or any other Project
+Gutenberg-tm work.  The Foundation makes no representations concerning
+the copyright status of any work in any country outside the United
+States.

+1.E.1.  The following sentence, with active links to, or other immediate
+access to, the full Project Gutenberg-tm License must appear prominently

+Gutenberg" is associated) is accessed, displayed, performed, viewed,
+copied or distributed:

+
+1.E.2.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is derived
+from the public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is
+posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied
+and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees
+or charges.  If you are redistributing or providing access to a work
+with the phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the

+with the permission of the copyright holder, your use and distribution
+must comply with both paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 and any additional
+terms imposed by the copyright holder.  Additional terms will be linked

+permission of the copyright holder found at the beginning of this work.

+License terms from this work, or any files containing a part of this
+work or any other work associated with Project Gutenberg-tm.

+Gutenberg-tm License.

+compressed, marked up, nonproprietary or proprietary form, including any
+word processing or hypertext form.  However, if you provide access to or
+distribute copies of a Project Gutenberg-tm work in a format other than
+"Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other format used in the official version
+posted on the official Project Gutenberg-tm web site (www.gutenberg.org),

+form.  Any alternate format must include the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.

+
+- You pay a royalty fee of 20% of the gross profits you derive from
+     the use of Project Gutenberg-tm works calculated using the method
+     you already use to calculate your applicable taxes.  The fee is
+     owed to the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark, but he
+     has agreed to donate royalties under this paragraph to the
+     Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation.  Royalty payments
+     must be paid within 60 days following each date on which you
+     prepare (or are legally required to prepare) your periodic tax

+     sent to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation at the
+     address specified in Section 4, "Information about donations to
+     the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation."
+
+- You provide a full refund of any money paid by a user who notifies
+     you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that s/he
+     does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+     License.  You must require such a user to return or
+     destroy all copies of the works possessed in a physical medium
+     and discontinue all use of and all access to other copies of
+     Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+- You provide, in accordance with paragraph 1.F.3, a full refund of any
+     money paid for a work or a replacement copy, if a defect in the
+     electronic work is discovered and reported to you within 90 days
+     of receipt of the work.
+
+- You comply with all other terms of this agreement for free

+
+1.E.9.  If you wish to charge a fee or distribute a Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work or group of works on different terms than are set
+forth in this agreement, you must obtain permission in writing from
+both the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and Michael
+Hart, the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark.  Contact the
+Foundation as set forth in Section 3 below.
+
+1.F.
+
+1.F.1.  Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection.  Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.
+
+1.F.2.  LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
+liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
+fees.  YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
+LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
+PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH F3.  YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE
+TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
+LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR
+INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
+DAMAGE.
+
+1.F.3.  LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a
+defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
+receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
+written explanation to the person you received the work from.  If you
+received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with
+your written explanation.  The person or entity that provided you with
+the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a
+refund.  If you received the work electronically, the person or entity
+providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to
+receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund.  If the second copy
+is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
+opportunities to fix the problem.
+
+1.F.4.  Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
+in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS' WITH NO OTHER
+WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
+WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.
+
+1.F.5.  Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
+warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.
+If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
+law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be
+interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by
+the applicable state law.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any
+provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.
+
+1.F.6.  INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
+trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
+providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance
+with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production,
+promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works,
+harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees,
+that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org.
+
+
+Section 3.  Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation
+
+The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service.  The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541.  Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at
+https://pglaf.org/fundraising.  Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent
+permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.
+
+The Foundation's principal office is located at 4557 Melan Dr. S.
+Fairbanks, AK, 99712., but its volunteers and employees are scattered
+throughout numerous locations.  Its business office is located at
+809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887, email
+business@pglaf.org.  Email contact links and up to date contact
+information can be found at the Foundation's web site and official
+page at https://pglaf.org
+
+For additional contact information:
+     Dr. Gregory B. Newby
+     Chief Executive and Director
+     gbnewby@pglaf.org
+
+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations.  To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     https://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

+[Transcriber's Note:
+
+This text is intended for users whose text readers cannot use the "real"
+(unicode/utf-8) version of the file. Characters that could not be fully
+displayed have been "unpacked" and shown in brackets:
+
+  [Gh], [gh] (yogh)
+  [&] (Tironian ampersand)
+  [�/] (thorn with stroke)
+  [e,] (e with tail, "e caudata")
+  [.y] (y with over-dot)
+  [��] (accented �)
+  [-a], [-e]... (vowel with macron or "long" mark)
+  [)a], [)e]... (vowel with breve or "short" mark)
+  [a.], [b.]... (expunctuated letter, "under-dot")
+
+All but the first three are rare, or occur only in notes. Any other
+bracketed characters are in the original text.
+
+The form {} represents a half-width space, generally between prefix and
+main word. These are not always unambigous; readers should consult page
+images or a printed text. The {;} is a punctuation mark similar to a
+semicolon.
+
+A few selections use additional, very unusual letters that will be
+explained as they appear.
+
+In the last three selections, doubled �� represents the large C-like
+paragraph symbol. In Orm and earlier selections, � is as printed.
+
+Italicized letters or parts of words, indicating expanded abbreviations,
+are shown in {braces}. Spaced-out text, used mainly for Latin
+quotations, is marked with _lines_. Boldface is shown with +marks+,
+while large initial capitals are shown with double ++marks before the
+letter. Superscript letters are shown with ^.
+
+The Notes were published in a separate volume, in preparation at the
+time this e-text was produced (August 2008). For each selection, the
+bracketed paragraph describing the MSS. has been summarized from these
+Notes; additions or omissions shown by ellipses or brackets according to
+the usual rules for academic quotation.
+
+Further details about the format of this e-text are at the end of the
+text. All notes in [[double brackets]] were added by the transcriber.]

+PREFACE
+
+
+Some of the texts in this book have already appeared in the Specimens
+of Early English edited by the Rev. Richard Morris. But Nos. i, ii, iv,
+vii, xiii and xv are new, the important shorter pieces, Nos. vi, viii,
+xvi, xviii, xxi and xxiii, are printed in full, and some, as Nos. viii
+and ix, are taken from additional or better manuscripts. The pieces are
+arranged tentatively in what appears to be the chronological order of
+their composition, but Nos. xix and xvii should have come before the
+Ancrene Wisse, and No. vii has been placed next to the Proverbs of
+Alfred, from which it appears to be derived. It is hoped that those who
+study the older book will find in the present one a useful supplement.
+
+The texts follow the manuscripts in all details. The syntax being
+comparatively simple, there is not much to be gained by modern
+punctuation, and that of the manuscripts has gained a fresh importance
+from theories which have been founded upon it. Where obvious mistakes
+have been corrected in the text, notice is always given in the
+footnotes. Additions are made within square brackets, and
+interlineations are printed between accents.
+
+My best thanks are due to the custodians of the libraries for the
+facilities which with uniform kindness they extended to me in the
+collation of the manuscripts.

+I. WORCESTER FRAGMENTS
+
+[[MS description from Notes volume:
+
+"Worcester Cathedral Library, 174.... Its contents are ... (2)�the scrap
+here marked A; (3)�the pieces B and C with five more fragments of the
+same poem. A�completes the page on which the glossary ends, and B is on
+the verso of the leaf. The leaves have been slightly shorn at one side
+and reduced at top and bottom, but probably to no great extent: the
+conjectural complement, which is here printed within square brackets, is
+for the most part fairly obvious, the more so as portions of the lost
+letters often remain. The whole MS. is in the same large square hand,
+but the pieces in verse, which are written continuously, like prose, are
+less carefully executed. The handwriting is of the second half of the
+twelfth century, perhaps about 1180 A.D. The Latin headings are not in
+the MS."]]

+VI. THE PROVERBS OF ALFRED
+
+[[MS description from Notes volume:
+
+"Jesus College, Oxford, E 29, formerly Arch. i. 29 (J).... written not
+long after 1276 (Anglia xxx, 222).... Our piece is written continuously
+as prose, each stanza forming a paragraph, but iv and v are in one
+without l. 54, which is here supplied, while l. 43 is written at the end
+of the preceding paragraph and similarly the lines beginning viii-xvii,
+xix-xxiii. The scribe was evidently struggling with an original which he
+could not always read; see footnote to l. 105.
+
+".... the copy of the Poema Morale in the same MS. has undergone a
+drastic revision which sets it apart among the versions of that poem,
+and the version of the Owl and Nightingale has suffered, though not to
+the same extent. On the other hand MS. T was copied by a man who was
+incapable of remodelling it; though a ruin, it often preserves in
+details the original."]]

+VIII. POEMA MORALE
+
+[[MS description from Notes volume:
+
+"i. Lambeth 487 (L), a small quarto, 177 � 135 mm., of 67 leaves,
+written towards the end of the twelfth century... nos. x, xi. of this
+book are also taken from it. The words printed in clarendon in these
+three pieces are written in red, not inserted afterwards by a rubricator
+but done at the same time as the rest of the text. The PM ends with
+fordemet, l.�270, in the middle of a page; the final t has a flourish
+for its cross stroke; the copyist had apparently no knowledge of any
+more.
+
+"ii. iii. Egerton 613, B. M.... has two copies of the PM: the second (e)
+furnishes here a complement to the Lambeth MS. as far as l.�370, with
+which it ends; the first (E) is used to complete the text. e was written
+in the first quarter of the thirteenth century, E is somewhat later; the
+former has accents, the latter none.
+
+"iv. Trinity College, Cambridge, B. 14. 52 (T), on vellum, 135 � 105
+mm.; written early in the thirteenth century.... A leaf is lost after
+f 8, and a new hand begins with f 9; the PM appears to be a distinct MS.
+(Anglia, iv. 408). The initials of each line are capitals and written
+apart from their words. A later hand has glossed aihte 42, goodes; ore
+53, favour, grace; lean 64, deserving; manke 70, Manca, Mancus."]]

+XV. ORM
+
+THE ORMULUM
+
+[[MS description from Notes volume:
+
+"Junius 1, Bodleian Library, Oxford: an oblong folio, written in double
+columns on 118 leaves of parchment varying considerably in size, the
+largest being 508 � 200 mm.; about 1210 A.D., and an autograph, but
+corrected by a second and third hand."]]
+
+
+[[Further detail from Notes volume:
+
+"Orm supplemented the current graphic methods by devices of his own.
+Thus he systematically doubled a consonant after a short vowel in a
+closed syllable, so tunnderrstanndenn 109. Whether he meant thereby
+to indicate shortness of the vowel or length of the consonant is
+disputed.... Where the consonant after an open syllable is in fact
+short, Orm often places a breve over the preceding short vowel....
+Likewise he uses very seldom an almost horizontal accent to indicate
+vowel length, as � 174, but more frequently, as if to emphasize his
+warning against possible error, doubles it ... even for greater
+insistence trebles it ... mostly before final t.
+
+"Furthermore, Orm invented a special symbol {g} with a flat top
+projecting on both sides for the guttural stop g, reserving the
+continental g for the dzh sound in such words as egge (edge), leggen,
+seggen: the latter occurs in this extract only in gluternesse 167, and
+that by mistake."]]
+
+
+[[In the original text, the linenotes used yogh for insular g, and
+plain g for Orm's unique {g}. In this version of the e-text, insular g
+has been shown as yogh [gh].
+
+In this selection, all lines have been split at the caesura for length,
+with the second half shown deeply indented.]]

+[[MS description from Notes volume:
+
+"i. Bodleian 34, Oxford (B); on vellum, 165 � 120 mm.; written in one
+hand throughout about 1210 A.D.... It has lost two leaves after f. 80,
+which is very faint and defective. Entries in fourteenth-century hands
+connect it with Ledbury, Godstow, and Magna Coworne (Much Cowarne) in
+Herefordshire. The text is printed from this manuscript up to its end at
+127/4.
+
+"The writing is sometimes difficult to decipher; the letters are often
+crowded and hesitating, a, e, o are sometimes hard to distinguish.
+Doubts are permissible in the following cases, hwen _or_ hwon 118/24,
+ihaten _or_ ihoten 37, hondon _or_ honden 51; in sent 55, the last
+letter wavers between t and d; in [gh]emelese 56, [gh] appears to have
+been corrected out of g; after mei 60, there is a half-formed c; under
+the second o of preoouin 72, there is what looks like a casual pen mark,
+not a dot of erasure; in seoueuald 287, d is corrected out of t, or the
+reverse.
+
+"ii. Royal 17 A 27, British Museum (R); on vellum, 160 � 117 mm.; early
+thirteenth century. Has all the pieces in B except Hali Meidenhad, with
+the addition of an incomplete copy of the Oreisun of Seinte Marie
+(printed in OEH i., p. 305). This manuscript supplies the end here from
+127/4.

+
+[[MS description from Notes volume:
+
+"i. Jesus College, Oxford, E 29 (J); see [VI, Alfred]. ii. Cotton
+Caligula A 9, British Museum (C); see XIV, La[gh]amon. They are copies
+of a common exemplar X, which was probably taken directly from the
+poet's original. X�was written by two scribes; the work of the first is
+represented in ll. 1-353 of the present selection; that of the second
+in ll. 354-437; the former was accustomed to French scribal methods.
+The writer of C was a mechanical copyist and not at home in English,
+consequently he reproduces X with tolerable accuracy. The scribe of J
+was more independent (see [VI, Alfred, second paragraph in the
+e-text])."]]

+XXI. THE BESTIARY
+
+[[MS description from Notes volume:
+
+"Arundel 292, British Museum: on vellum, 200 � 130 mm.: late thirteenth
+century.... The Bestiary is written continuously, but the initials of
+the lines and, in the long metres, of the half lines are mostly
+rubricated.... Latin headings are in red, some are on the margin,
+the others at the head of their sections. As will be seen from the
+footnotes, the manuscript was much corrected or altered over erasures,
+and that after it was finished, for the substituted words do not always
+fill the gaps left by the scraper. The first leaves of the exemplar were
+probably damaged at the lower margin, since defective or difficult
+passages occur at regular intervals, so l. 32, ll. 89-92, 120, 121, 143,
+144, 173, 200, 201."]]

+[Design of the e-text:
+
+Lines of prose have been shortened for readability. The original line
+numbers are shown in {braces} within the text. Mid-line caesuras are
+marked as in the original, with � additional � space.
+
+Page numbers from the source MSS are shown as printed--inline in the
+prose passages, marginal in verse--with their original brackets. Page
+breaks in verse were marked with a simple line�|.
+
+In Linenotes and Collations, single | and double || lines have been
+added by the transcriber where the original used extra space between
+entries.
+
+Several selections offer parallel readings from two or more MSS,
+originally printed on facing pages. These parallel readings are shown
+in sequence, with differing amounts of indentation; long prose passages
+have been broken into smaller units for easier comparison.
+
+
+Editorial material:
+
+As explained in the editor's Introduction, "Additions are made within
+square brackets, and interlineations are printed between accents."
+Brackets added by the transcriber are also used to enclose footnotes and
+similar multi-line blocks of text. The `accents� occur in pairs, and are
+used nowhere else. Some selections use *asterisks*, also in pairs.
+
+In notes and other editorial material, _lines_ represent italics.
+Headnotes were retained only when they contain text that does not appear
+elsewhere on the page.
+
+
+Errors and Inconsistencies:
+
+A few Linenotes were separated by semicolons (;) instead of extra space;
+these have been regularized to | lines.
+
+Line numbers are in multiples of 5. Both in the e-text and in the
+original book, variations in line number are for mechanical reasons
+such as unusually long lines, or to avoid collision with marginal folio
+numbers.
+
+When a new selection began at mid-page, linenotes were sometimes
+identified by selection number. These were randomly printed in upper or
+lower case, as "XVII" or "xvii".]

+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org.
+
+
+Section 3.  Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation
+
+The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service.  The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541.  Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at
+https://pglaf.org/fundraising.  Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent
+permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.
+
+The Foundation's principal office is located at 4557 Melan Dr. S.
+Fairbanks, AK, 99712., but its volunteers and employees are scattered
+throughout numerous locations.  Its business office is located at
+809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887, email
+business@pglaf.org.  Email contact links and up to date contact
+information can be found at the Foundation's web site and official
+page at https://pglaf.org
+

+     Chief Executive and Director
+     gbnewby@pglaf.org
+
+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations.  To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     https://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

+<p><a name = "start" id = "start">This e-text</a> includes characters

+<p class = "inset">
+Ȝ, ȝ (yogh)<br />
+⁊ (Tironian ampersand)<br />
+þ̵ (thorn with stroke&mdash;also see below)<br />

+
+<p>All but the first three are rare, or occur only in notes.</p>
+
+<p>If any of these characters do not display properly, or if the
+apostrophes and quotation marks in this paragraph appear as garbage,
+make sure your text browser’s “character set” or “file encoding” is set
+to Unicode (UTF-8). You may also need to change your browser’s default
+font.</p>
+
+<p>The inverted semicolon <img src = "images/semicolon.gif" width = "13"
+height = "22" alt = ";" /> is represented as an oversized semicolon
+<big>;</big>. A half-width space&mdash;shown here in red&mdash; <span
+style = "color: red; background-color: red;">&#x200A;</span> was used in
+some selections to separate a main word from its pre&#x200A;fix. It may
+not display accurately in all browsers. Note that because of font
+availability, “thorn with stroke” is shown as separate characters,
+þ&nbsp;or Þ with combining&nbsp;-. If your browser can display the
+single-character forms &#xA764; and &#xA765; (hex A764 and A765), and
+you are comfortable editing html files, feel free to replace them
+globally.</p>
+
+<p>A few selections use additional, very unusual letters that will be
+explained as they appear.</p>
+
+<p>The Notes were published in a separate volume, in preparation at the
+time this e-text was produced (August 2008). For each selection, the
+paragraph describing the MSS. has been summarized from these Notes;
+additions or omissions shown by ellipses or brackets according to
+the usual rules for academic quotation.</p>

+
+<p><span class = "firstword">Some</span> of the texts in this book have
+already appeared in the Specimens of Early English edited by the Rev.
+Richard Morris. But Nos. i, ii, iv, vii, xiii and xv are new, the
+important shorter pieces, Nos. vi, viii, xvi, xviii, xxi and xxiii, are
+printed in full, and some, as Nos. viii and ix, are taken from
+additional or better manuscripts. The pieces are arranged tentatively in
+what appears to be the chronological order of their composition, but
+Nos. xix and xvii should have come before the Ancrene Wisse, and No. vii
+has been placed next to the Proverbs of Alfred, from which it appears to
+be derived. It is hoped that those who study the older book will find in
+the present one a useful supplement.</p>
+
+<p>The texts follow the manuscripts in all details. The syntax being
+comparatively simple, there is not much to be gained by modern
+punctuation, and that of the manuscripts has gained a fresh importance
+from theories which have been founded upon it. Where obvious mistakes
+have been corrected in the text, notice is always given in the
+footnotes. Additions are made within square brackets, and
+interlineations are printed between accents.</p>
+
+<p>My best thanks are due to the custodians of the libraries for the
+facilities which with uniform kindness they extended to me in the
+collation of the manuscripts.</p>

+<p>“Worcester Cathedral Library, 174.... Its contents are ...
+(2)&nbsp;the scrap here marked A; (3)&nbsp;the pieces B and C with five
+more fragments of the same poem. A&nbsp;completes the page on which the
+glossary ends, and B is on the verso of the leaf. The leaves have been
+slightly shorn at one side and reduced at top and bottom, but probably
+to no great extent: the conjectural complement, which is here printed
+within square brackets, is for the most part fairly obvious, the more so
+as portions of the lost letters often remain. The whole MS. is in the
+same large square hand, but the pieces in verse, which are written
+continuously, like prose, are less carefully executed. The handwriting
+is of the second half of the twelfth century, perhaps about 1180 A.D.

+<p>“i. Lambeth 487 (L), a small quarto, 177 × 135 mm., of 67 leaves,
+written towards the end of the twelfth century... nos. x, xi. of this
+book are also taken from it. The words printed in clarendon in these
+three pieces are written in red, not inserted afterwards by a rubricator
+but done at the same time as the rest of the text. The PM ends with
+fordemet, l.&nbsp;270, in the middle of a page; the final t has a
+flourish for its cross stroke; the copyist had apparently no knowledge
+of any more.</p>
+
+<p>“ii. iii. Egerton 613, B. M.... has two copies of the PM: the second
+(e) furnishes here a complement to the Lambeth MS. as far as
+l.&nbsp;370, with which it ends; the first (E) is used to complete the
+text. e&nbsp;was written in the first quarter of the thirteenth century,
+E&nbsp;is somewhat later; the former has accents, the latter none.</p>
+
+<p>“iv. Trinity College, Cambridge, B. 14. 52 (T), on vellum, 135 × 105
+mm.; written early in the thirteenth century.... A&nbsp;leaf is lost
+after f 8, and a new hand begins with f 9; the PM appears to be a
+distinct MS. (Anglia, iv. 408). The initials of each line are capitals
+and written apart from their words. A&nbsp;later hand has glossed aihte
+42, goodes; ore 53, favour, grace; lean 64, deserving; manke 70, Manca,
+Mancus.”</p>

+<div class = "mynote">
+<p>“Junius 1, Bodleian Library, Oxford: an oblong folio, written in
+double columns on 118 leaves of parchment varying considerably in size,
+the largest being 508 × 200 mm.; about 1210 A.D., and an autograph, but
+corrected by a second and third hand.”</p>
+
+<p>Further detail from Notes volume:</p>
+
+<p class = "inset">
+“Orm supplemented the current graphic methods by devices of his own.
+Thus he systematically doubled a consonant after a short vowel in a
+closed syllable, so tunnderrstanndenn 109. Whether he meant thereby to
+indicate shortness of the vowel or length of the consonant is
+disputed.... Where the consonant after an open syllable is in fact
+short, Orm often places a breve over the preceding short vowel....
+Likewise he uses very seldom an almost horizontal accent to indicate
+vowel length, as á 174, but more frequently, as if to emphasize his
+warning against possible error, doubles it ... even for greater
+insistence trebles it ... mostly before final&nbsp;t.</p>
+
+<p class = "inset">
+“Furthermore, Orm invented a special symbol {g} with a flat top
+projecting on both sides for the guttural stop g, reserving the
+continental g for the dzh sound in such words as egge (edge), leggen,
+seggen: the latter occurs in this extract only in gluternesse 167, and
+that by mistake.”</p>
+
+<p>This page image shows all three “g” forms, with Orm’s unique {g} in
+the first line, and insular “g” in the third. Note that the ordinary
+(“continental”) “g” form is regularly used in “ng”.</p>

+<img src = "images/orm_g_thumb.png" width = "263" height = "58"
+alt = "page image showing forms of g" /></a>
+</p>
+
+<p>In this e-text, ordinary capital G was used for capital insular
+g&nbsp;(ᵹ), because font support for the correct form Ᵹ (hex A77D) is
+extemely limited. The printed linenotes almost always use yogh (ȝ) for
+insular g (ᵹ), plain g for Orm’s unique {g}. Lines have been split at
+the caesura for cleaner display.</p>

+<p>“Arundel 292, British Museum: on vellum, 200 × 130 mm.: late
+thirteenth century.... The Bestiary is written continuously, but the
+initials of the lines and, in the long metres, of the half lines are
+mostly rubricated.... Latin headings are in red, some are on the margin,
+the others at the head of their sections. As will be seen from the
+footnotes, the manuscript was much corrected or altered over erasures,
+and that after it was finished, for the substituted words do not always
+fill the gaps left by the scraper. The first leaves of the exemplar were
+probably damaged at the lower margin, since defective or difficult
+passages occur at regular intervals, so l. 32, ll. 89-92, 120, 121, 143,
+144, 173, 200, 201.”</p>

+<p>The Editor’s introduction notes:</p>
+
+<p class = "inset">
+Additions are made within [square brackets], and interlineations are
+printed between `accents´.</p>
+
+<p>Several selections were printed in parallel, on facing pages. They
+are given here in two forms. First, each version is shown separately,
+with all notes and marginal information. Then the two are shown side by
+side, with text only.</p>
+
+<p>Line divisions in prose selections will not correspond to the printed
+original, as shown by marginal line numbers. Words cited in the
+linenotes are <span class = "tag">underlined</span> if not already set
+off by `accents´ (above) or similar markings.</p>
+
+<p>Page numbers from the source MSS are shown as printed&mdash;inline in
+the prose passages, marginal in verse&mdash;with their original
+brackets. Page breaks in verse were marked with a simple
+line&nbsp;|.</p>
+
+<h5>Errors and Inconsistencies:</h5>
+
+<p>A few Linenotes were separated by semicolons (;) instead of extra
+space; these have been regularized to line breaks in the e-text.</p>
+
+<p>Line numbers are in multiples of 5. Both in the e-text and in the
+original book, variations are for mechanical reasons such as unusually
+long lines, or to avoid collision with marginal folio numbers.</p>
+
+<p>When a new selection began at mid-page, linenotes were sometimes
+identified by selection number. These were randomly printed in upper or
+lower case, as “XVII” or “xvii”.</p>

+Creating the works from public domain print editions means that no

+(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without
+permission and without paying copyright royalties.  Special rules,
+set forth in the General Terms of Use part of this license, apply to
+copying and distributing Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works to

+Gutenberg is a registered trademark, and may not be used if you
+charge for the eBooks, unless you receive specific permission.  If you
+do not charge anything for copies of this eBook, complying with the

+such as creation of derivative works, reports, performances and
+research.  They may be modified and printed and given away--you may do

+
+
+Section 1.  General Terms of Use and Redistributing Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic works
+
+1.A.  By reading or using any part of this Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work, you indicate that you have read, understand, agree to
+and accept all the terms of this license and intellectual property
+(trademark/copyright) agreement.  If you do not agree to abide by all
+the terms of this agreement, you must cease using and return or destroy
+all copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in your possession.
+If you paid a fee for obtaining a copy of or access to a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work and you do not agree to be bound by the
+terms of this agreement, you may obtain a refund from the person or
+entity to whom you paid the fee as set forth in paragraph 1.E.8.
+
+1.B.  "Project Gutenberg" is a registered trademark.  It may only be
+used on or associated in any way with an electronic work by people who
+agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement.  There are a few
+things that you can do with most Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
+even without complying with the full terms of this agreement.  See
+paragraph 1.C below.  There are a lot of things you can do with Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works if you follow the terms of this agreement
+and help preserve free future access to Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.  See paragraph 1.E below.
+
+1.C.  The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the Foundation"
+or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection of Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works.  Nearly all the individual works in the
+collection are in the public domain in the United States.  If an
+individual work is in the public domain in the United States and you are
+located in the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from
+copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative
+works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg
+are removed.  Of course, we hope that you will support the Project
+Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting free access to electronic works by
+freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm works in compliance with the terms of
+this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with
+the work.  You can easily comply with the terms of this agreement by
+keeping this work in the same format with its attached full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License when you share it without charge with others.
+
+1.D.  The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern
+what you can do with this work.  Copyright laws in most countries are in
+a constant state of change.  If you are outside the United States, check
+the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this agreement
+before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or
+creating derivative works based on this work or any other Project
+Gutenberg-tm work.  The Foundation makes no representations concerning
+the copyright status of any work in any country outside the United
+States.
+
+1.E.  Unless you have removed all references to Project Gutenberg:
+
+1.E.1.  The following sentence, with active links to, or other immediate
+access to, the full Project Gutenberg-tm License must appear prominently
+whenever any copy of a Project Gutenberg-tm work (any work on which the

+Gutenberg" is associated) is accessed, displayed, performed, viewed,
+copied or distributed:
+
+This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with
+almost no restrictions whatsoever.  You may copy it, give it away or
+re-use it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included
+with this eBook or online at www.gutenberg.org
+
+1.E.2.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is derived
+from the public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is
+posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied
+and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees
+or charges.  If you are redistributing or providing access to a work
+with the phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the
+work, you must comply either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1
+through 1.E.7 or obtain permission for the use of the work and the
+Project Gutenberg-tm trademark as set forth in paragraphs 1.E.8 or
+1.E.9.
+
+1.E.3.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is posted
+with the permission of the copyright holder, your use and distribution
+must comply with both paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 and any additional
+terms imposed by the copyright holder.  Additional terms will be linked
+to the Project Gutenberg-tm License for all works posted with the
+permission of the copyright holder found at the beginning of this work.
+
+1.E.4.  Do not unlink or detach or remove the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License terms from this work, or any files containing a part of this
+work or any other work associated with Project Gutenberg-tm.
+
+1.E.5.  Do not copy, display, perform, distribute or redistribute this
+electronic work, or any part of this electronic work, without
+prominently displaying the sentence set forth in paragraph 1.E.1 with
+active links or immediate access to the full terms of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm License.
+
+1.E.6.  You may convert to and distribute this work in any binary,
+compressed, marked up, nonproprietary or proprietary form, including any
+word processing or hypertext form.  However, if you provide access to or
+distribute copies of a Project Gutenberg-tm work in a format other than
+"Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other format used in the official version
+posted on the official Project Gutenberg-tm web site (www.gutenberg.org),
+you must, at no additional cost, fee or expense to the user, provide a
+copy, a means of exporting a copy, or a means of obtaining a copy upon
+request, of the work in its original "Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other
+form.  Any alternate format must include the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.
+
+1.E.7.  Do not charge a fee for access to, viewing, displaying,
+performing, copying or distributing any Project Gutenberg-tm works

+that
+
+- You pay a royalty fee of 20% of the gross profits you derive from
+     the use of Project Gutenberg-tm works calculated using the method
+     you already use to calculate your applicable taxes.  The fee is
+     owed to the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark, but he
+     has agreed to donate royalties under this paragraph to the
+     Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation.  Royalty payments
+     must be paid within 60 days following each date on which you
+     prepare (or are legally required to prepare) your periodic tax

+     sent to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation at the
+     address specified in Section 4, "Information about donations to
+     the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation."
+
+- You provide a full refund of any money paid by a user who notifies
+     you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that s/he
+     does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+     License.  You must require such a user to return or
+     destroy all copies of the works possessed in a physical medium
+     and discontinue all use of and all access to other copies of
+     Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+- You provide, in accordance with paragraph 1.F.3, a full refund of any
+     money paid for a work or a replacement copy, if a defect in the
+     electronic work is discovered and reported to you within 90 days
+     of receipt of the work.
+
+- You comply with all other terms of this agreement for free
+     distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+1.E.9.  If you wish to charge a fee or distribute a Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work or group of works on different terms than are set
+forth in this agreement, you must obtain permission in writing from
+both the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and Michael
+Hart, the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark.  Contact the
+Foundation as set forth in Section 3 below.
+
+1.F.
+
+1.F.1.  Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection.  Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.
+
+1.F.2.  LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
+liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
+fees.  YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
+LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
+PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH F3.  YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE
+TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
+LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR
+INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
+DAMAGE.
+
+1.F.3.  LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a
+defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
+receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
+written explanation to the person you received the work from.  If you
+received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with
+your written explanation.  The person or entity that provided you with
+the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a
+refund.  If you received the work electronically, the person or entity
+providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to
+receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund.  If the second copy
+is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
+opportunities to fix the problem.
+
+1.F.4.  Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
+in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS' WITH NO OTHER
+WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
+WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.
+
+1.F.5.  Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
+warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.
+If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
+law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be
+interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by
+the applicable state law.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any
+provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.
+
+1.F.6.  INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
+trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
+providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance
+with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production,
+promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works,
+harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees,
+that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org.
+
+
+Section 3.  Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation
+
+The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service.  The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541.  Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at
+https://pglaf.org/fundraising.  Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent
+permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.
+
+The Foundation's principal office is located at 4557 Melan Dr. S.
+Fairbanks, AK, 99712., but its volunteers and employees are scattered
+throughout numerous locations.  Its business office is located at
+809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887, email
+business@pglaf.org.  Email contact links and up to date contact

+
+For additional contact information:
+     Dr. Gregory B. Newby
+     Chief Executive and Director
+     gbnewby@pglaf.org
+
+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations.  To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     https://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
