Dear colleagues,
Say we have declared three witnesses P Q and R and we are facing a scenario whereby the accepted reading is in one case the result of scribal correction in the witness.
Say that the display I desire is like this:
vijayaḥ Ppc Q ◇ vajayaḥ Pac vajayo R
How do I get there? I am surprised to find no guidance in the TEI guidelines.
I have imagined the following two encoding approaches. What do you think?
APPROACH 1
<app>
<lem wit=”#P #Q”>vijayaḥ</lem>
<rdg wit=”#P”><sic>vajayaḥ</sic></rdg>
<rdg wit=”#R”>vajayo</rdg>
</app>
and its counterpart if it is actually the ac reading that is accepted:
<app>
<lem wit=”#P #Q”>vijayaḥ</lem>
<rdg wit=”#P”><corr>vajayaḥ</corr></rdg>
<rdg wit=”#R”>vajayo</rdg>
</app>
APPROACH 2
<app>
<lem wit=”#P #Q”>vijayaḥ</lem>
<rdg wit=”#P” type=”ac”>vajayaḥ</sic></rdg>
<rdg wit=”#R”>vajayo</rdg>
</app>
and its counterpart if it is actually the ac reading that is accepted:
<app>
<lem wit=”#P #Q”>vijayaḥ</lem>
<rdg wit=”#P” type=”pc”>vajayaḥ</sic></rdg>
<rdg wit=”#R”>vajayo</rdg>
</app>
Thanks and best wishes,
Arlo
