Subject: Re: Old Saxon
I'm about half done with the Gallée hand-corrections. A couple things about the text really annoy me thought. One, all the "Ð"s are replaced with "Th". He did however make a "Ð" section right after "D" which I did a find and replace on but that doesn't fix all the other words strewn across the glossary. Another annoyance is the fact that he doesn't use a ß when needed in the German definitions, which I corrected as well. Gallée also fails to make use of needed hyphenations in all the German text, instead making everything one word. That I left be, seeing as I wasn't going through the trouble of adding &dash-edit; or the like everywhere.
I think after I'm done with this, I'll begin transcribing Wright's Middle German Glossary. With that completed as well, I can make a better, easier translation of Gallée's German definitions.
