Abbreviations

For the manuscript materials quoted in this book, I have retained original spelling and punctuation wherever possible to convey the flavour of the scribal mode. Cross-outs and insertions, however, are not recorded, and I have expanded the occasional abbreviation that might have been difficult to decipher otherwise.
