- How we use it
- Year-level placement is limited to the dated source entry.
The date reference is this project’s reading of the source’s date. It may give an era name, a reign or a calendar in a normalised form rather than in the source’s own words; the dating notes say what the source prints.
Dating notes from the research record
Read arf.wikitext:103–115. 'Eodem anno' refers to DCCLXXI at line 107; 'prid. Non. Decembr.' finishes at line 109. December Nones fall on 5 December, so the preceding day is Julian 4 December AD 771, before the subsequent Christmas notice. Examined both supplied edition JSON files; no competing death date appears in the inspected passage. Original quotation begins at line 107, character 13601.
File names and line numbers in these notes, and in the limits above, refer to the project’s retained copies of the cited sources. Names such as calendar_headers are the project’s calendar look-ups, and “the investigator” is the research step that prepared the record.
Sources and quoted text
Line and character numbers under “Location” refer to the project’s retained copy of the source. For database rows, “Edition” names the batch of rows that was fetched together.
