I have regularized the use of i/j and u/v in Latin quotations in accordance with the guidelines of H. A. Kelly, “Uniformity and Sense in Editing and Medieval Texts,” in Medieval Academy News (Spring 2004), 8: I use the i and u for the vowel sound and j and v for the consonant sound. However, I have not regularized other orthography, nor have I changed the punctuation of the editions that I use.

In note citations I normally leave out p. (standing for page number) unless the citation involves a series of numbers (chapter, section, and so on), in which case the p. is used.

I do not ordinarily cite the full original Latin of Latin-language sources in my notes. However, I include relevant Latin terms in my translations. I do give the original texts of Moyen français, Old Occitan, and Middle English in the notes. All translations are my own unless otherwise noted, but I have taken into account (and herewith express my gratitude for) numerous modern translations.
