- 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
Examined bert1.wikitext, heading line 16 and narrative line 18, alongside the next annal at heading 20 and narrative 22. Line 18 explicitly opens with incarnation year 830 and dates the Nijmegen assembly circa Kalendas Octobris, around 1 October. The excerpt follows that assembly notice on line 18. This autumn event falls in Julian AD 830, before the closing winter transition naming 831. Original quotation begins at line 18, character 2608.
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.
