- 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 bert2.wikitext, lines 73–92: the 842 heading at line 73 and its narrative through line 78, the 843 heading at line 80 and selected passage at line 83, and the 844 heading at line 85 with its opening winter notice at line 88. The meeting is narrated directly within the 843 annal, without retrospective wording or a Christmas date; its annal year maps to Julian AD 843. No narrower date is supplied. Original quotation begins at line 83, character 60895.
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.
