- Description
- Articulates the principles of manuscript transcription for the "Canterbury Tales" Project, theorizing about the potential and limitations of transcribing for machine-readable publication and explaining why "graphemic" transcription (rather than "graphic," "graphetic," or "regularized" transcription) is the aim of the project. Describes and illustrates the practice of transcription, including treatment of individual characters, flourishes, abbreviations, capitals, and punctuation.
