TRANSCRIBER'S NOTES
This etext contains only characters from the Latin-1 set. The original work contained a few phrases of Greek text. These are represented here as Beta-code transliterations in brackets, e.g. [Greek: miseto\n].
The original text used a few other characters not found in the Latin-1 set. These have been represented using bracket notation, as follows: [=a], [=i] for letters with a macron, and ['c] for c with accent. In a few places superscript letters are shown by carets, as in Oct^r. 11.
An important feature of this edition is its copious footnotes. Footnotes indexed with letters (e.g. [c], [bf]) show variant forms of Byron's text from manuscripts and other sources. Footnotes indexed with arabic numbers (e.g. [17], [221]) are informational. Text in notes and elsewhere in square brackets is the work of Editor E. H. Coleridge. Note text not in brackets is by Byron himself.
In the original, footnotes are printed at the foot of the page on which they are referenced, and their indices start over on each page. In this etext, footnotes have been collected at the end of each section, and have been numbered consecutively throughout the book. Within each block of footnotes are numbers in braces, e.g. {321}. These represent the page number on which the following notes originally appeared. To find a note that was originally printed on page 27, search for {27}.
In note [ci] to The Giaour and in the section headed "NOTE TO THE BRIDE OF ABYDOS" the editor showed deleted text struck through with lines. The struck-through words are noted here with braces and dashes, as in {-deleted words-}.
