[This text is intended for users whose text readers cannot use the "real" (Unicode/UTF-8) version of the file. Characters that could not be fully displayed have been "unpacked" and shown in brackets:
[-m] [-i] [letter with overline] [oe] [oe ligature]
Curly quotes and apostrophes have been replaced with the simpler "typewriter" form. Words in non-Roman scripts have been transliterated and shown between #marks#.
The text is based on the 1865 EETS edition of Thynne's _Animadversions_. Two purely typographic features have been adopted from the 1876 Chaucer Society re-edition of the same MS. Passages printed in brackets in 1865 have been changed to 1876's parentheses; conversely, letters and whole words supplied by the editor are shown in brackets, reserving italics for expanded abbreviations. A few apparent errors were corrected from the 1876 text. Some other differences between the two editions are noted at the end of the e-text.
Italicized letters within a word are shown in { braces}. Other italics are shown conventionally with _lines_. Superscripts are shown with carets ^.
The Sidenotes have been duplicated at the beginning of the text to act as a table of contents.]
