Appendix E: Menota header
Version 3.0 (12 December 2019)
by Odd Einar Haugen and Beeke Stegmann
E.1 Introduction
We recommend that all texts in the Medieval Nordic Text Archive contain a minimal amount of information about the text, its background and its encoding. This should be entered in the <teiHeader>, which is an integral and essential part of any XML/TEI document. While not required, a longer header with more detailed information on the manuscript source is highly welcomed.
Below are three examples of headers for Medieval Nordic texts. The first two examples are so-called minimal headers with basic recommended information, the first being a header for a primary source with only a single text; the other for a source with more than one text. The third example is a longer header with more codicological detail. It should be noted, however, that a minimal header of a multi-text file can also become rather long when specifying the individual texts that are contained in the manuscript.
Cf. the TEI P5 Guidelines, ch. 2 for a discussion of headers in general, specifically ch. 2.6 for the notion of minimal and recommended headers.
As of v. 3.0 of The Menota Handbook we recommend that you use a RELAX NG schema when encoding a text rather than a DTD (Document Type Declaration). These schemas are explained in app. D.
The schema being used in a file is declared at the very beginning of the file. The headers that can be downloaded in app. E.5 below are all using the RELAX NG schema, and can thus be used as models.
E.2 Minimal header for a source with a single text
Although many medieval manuscripts contain more than one text, there are some manuscripts which only contain a single piece of text. That is also generally true of charters (diplomas). We have chosen Holm perg 6 fol (also referred to as Sth. perg. fol. nr 6) as an example of a single-text source. This manuscript carries the text of Barlaams ok Josaphats saga, although with some parts missing.
Please note that the distinction between single-text and multi-text sources is not straightforward and ultimately rests on the definition of key concepts such as “text” and “work”. If in doubt, we recommend using the established categories in catalogues and indices, e.g. the index volume of Ordbog over det norrøne prosasprog (Copenhagen 1989).
We have chosen Holm perg 6 fol also in order to demonstrate how a cumulative process of text encoding can be documented in the header. This text was initially transcribed and edited in an electronic version by Magnus Rindal in the late 1970ies (the printed edition in 1981 was generated from this file). Subsequently, Jon Erik Hagen and Odd Einar Haugen lemmatised the text, i.e. added information about lemma and grammatical form for each running word. Finally, Christian-Emil Ore converted the file from its original customised format into Menotic XML. The four people who contributed to the making of the present electronic version of the text should be credited accordingly.

</teiHeader>The <body> follows immediately after the header. This is where the actual transcription is located. Note that the <div> element is used to organise the various sections of the manuscript, in this case the individual chapters.
<text xml:lang="onw">
<body>
<div>
<p>The text of the first chapter goes here.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p><handShift new="h2"/>The text of the second chapter goes here.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p>The text of the third chapter goes here.</p>
</div>
</body>The source text is placed within the <text> element. The attribute @xml:lang specifies the language of the text (cf. <profileDesc> above). If the text contains sporadic words or sentences in another language, e.g. Latin, the attribute @xml:lang can be used to specify these exception from the rule, whether on the level of the word, <w>, paragraph, <p> or chapter, <div>.
This header is also an example of how change of scribal hands in the source can be recorded. Note that rather than putting each hand in an element of its own (which would cause problems of overlapping) the actual change is recorded using a milestone element, <handShift/>, as discussed in ch. 3.14 above. Note that the number of hands must be recorded in the <profileDesc> element of the header.
E.3 Minimal header for a source with multiple texts
AM 242 fol – often referred to as Codex Wormianus or Órmsbók – is a good example of a multi-text source. It contains the prose version of Edda (by Snorri Sturlusonar), the four grammatical treatises, and a few other poetic texts (Maríukvæði, Rígsþula and ókennd heiti). Edda Snorra Sturlusonar is usually divided into four sections; the Prologue, Gylfaginning, Skaldskaparmál and Háttatal.
The header of a multi-text source should specify the various parts of the source within the <msContents> element. Here, each part is described as an item, <msItem>, and in the text, <div> elements identify the corresponding parts of the source.
Sometimes, there are complications with respect to the sequence of the manuscript items. In the present manuscript, Háttatal is not placed in conjunction with the other sections of Edda Snorra Sturlusonar, but towards the end of the manuscript, and Maríukvæði has been divided into two parts with a few other texts intervening.
The body follows immediately after the header. This is where the actual transcription is located. Note that <div> elements are used to organise the various parts of the manuscript, referring to the divisons set out in the <msContents> element of the header.

</text>The source text is placed within the <text> element. The attribute @xml:lang specifies the language of the text (cp. <msContents> above). If the text contains sporadic words or sentences in another language, e.g. Latin, the attribute @xml:lang can be used to specify these exception from the rule, whether on the level of the word, <w>, paragraph, <p> or chapter, <div>.
The divisions of the text correspond to the list of <msItem> elements in <msContents> above, using the same numbers (1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 2.1, 2.2, etc.)
The <head> element specifies the title of the work (or a part of it). If the title is given as a rubric in the manuscript, a @type attribute can be used with the value ‘rubric’ (as exemplified in ch. 3.9 above). If the title is not stated in the source, the editor may add a title in the <supplied> element (as has been done above).
E.4 Detailed header with more codicological information
As the third example we have chosen Copenhagen, Royal Library, NKS 235 g 4to which is a fragment of a single leaf. It carries a part of Konungs skuggssjá.
This header demonstrates how to provide more codicological information about a source manuscript and it shows the usage of the recommended mark-up. Originally, the file was produced for the Menota archive by Nina Stensaker with a minimal header. For the purpose of demonstrating a more detailed header, it has later been expanded.
