Note on Editorial ConventionsThe construction of manuscript sigla follows principles employed in the Corpus troporumseries. The holding library is indicated by an abbreviation of its town or city. Shelfmarksare shortened to numbers alone. Paris, Bibliothèque nationale de France latin 1154 isaccordingly referred to as PA 1154. The compact sigla that result are particularly usefulwhen compiling tables, in which the presentation of sigla is occasionally further compresseddue to restrictions of space. A list of manuscript sigla with full library references isprovided in the Bibliography.Metra within the De consolatione philosophiae are indicated by a twofold numerical system.Roman numerals in upper case refer to the relevant book; Arabic numerals refer tothe position of the metrum within each book. I:7 therefore refers to the seventh metrum inthe first book. Prose sections within the text are distinguished by adding pr. Thus I:pr.7indicates the first book, seventh prose segment.Neumes are transcribed with individual syllables of the text aligned down the page andsyllable numbers placed at the head of each example in order to ease comparison and reference.Two sets of brackets are used to indicate passages in which transcription is notstraightforward:Placement of neumes disturbed by other elements of the manuscript(e.g. by gloss)Neumes cannot be clearly discernedTextual transcription follows standard practice in parsing sung words into separate syllables.Abbreviations are silently realised and the cauda sign is transcribed as ae. Omitted textis provided in square brackets and grammatically incoherent abbreviations are realised in {}.< > are used to indicate corrections made in the source. Capitalisation has been standardisedwith capitals provided at the beginning of every poetic line and for proper nouns. Lineendingsthat do not correspond with poetic units are signalled by /. Punctuation signs havebeen reproduced in individual transcriptions using signs approximating to the original. Thetext and punctuation of the Loeb edition has been used for synoptic tables.Stemless note heads are used for transcription into modern notation in view of theabsence of precisely measurable rhythmic information in neumatic notation. Slurs indicateneumatic groups. The following signs are also employed:oriscusquilismaliquescencePitch-letters follow Guidonian, not modern practice:xv
