Metadata fields

Users can select the information they want to be displayed:

locus = location of each paragraph (folio and column);
rubric = text of the rubrics; displacement of rubrics and additional ones, if any; where there is no information about rubrics, it means that the paragraph is copied continuously after the preceding one. The indication ‘Rubric: null’ appears in two cases:

1) when there is a blank space for a rubric in the manuscript, but no rubric,

2) when the beginning of a paragraph is part of a lacuna, hence the rubric may have been present originally;

verse = verse form of a paragraph; it is also signalled if the verses are lineated (abbreviated to ‘lin’) or continuously copied (abbreviated to ‘cont’);
variation = occurrence of a material lacuna (total or partial);
note = additional information necessary to understand the configuration of the alignment (i.e. information about non-material lacunae, displacement of folios after the manuscript was copied).
