First stab at TEI publication
2013 December 8
I’ve spent a lot of time thinking through how best to transcribe Tarlton’s Jests and represent that process here. I believe there’s value to reflecting upon the materiality of the text, in considering the editorial components of the 1613 edition. I’m still not sure whether or not I will go so far as to create a modern spelling version but that needn’t be decided right now.
To do a better job of demonstrating my process, I’m going to start posting TEI mark-up of the three sections of the Jests using TEI Boilerplate, which provides a quick, simple web presentation of the text:
His Court-wittie Iests
- (To come)
His sound Cittie Iests
His Country prettie Iests
- To come
