Index talk:The Acts and Monuments of John Foxe Volume 3.djvu

Thanks for uploading this book very much. I will be happy to help with proofreading it and so I want to discuss some issues.

 * 1) Side notes: Is the way I used at p 3 OK? I have noticed you do not include the side notes at all.
 * 2) Is using curly quotes in this work OK?
 * I have been using right sidenote for sidenotes (I have not been omitting them). I can change to your method if you want. And we can use curly quotes if you think it's reasonable for a work of this size (8 volumes x 800 pages per volume). I do not intend to do more than the writings of Jerome, so you can take the lead in establishing style guidelines if you like. —Beleg Tâl (talk) 14:32, 5 September 2019 (UTC)
 * I am considering either to proofread also all works connected with Jan Hus/John Huss (which are quite many there) or all works (bit by bit); I will see... --Jan Kameníček (talk) 15:54, 5 September 2019 (UTC)
 * As for curly quotes: you are right, I did not take into account that there are more volumes of the work. --Jan Kameníček (talk) 18:50, 5 September 2019 (UTC)

Chapters of the book
I need to solve a problem with chapters of the book. There is a new chapter in the page 405 "The entry of the memorable history of the Bohemians". In the Contents the chapter is called "The Entry of the memorable History of the Bohemians, containing the History of Master John Huss, no less famous than lamentable..." and in the page headers it is called simply "History of the Bohemians". The problem is that according to the Contents it seems that the chapter starts in page 405 and is followed by another chapter "Articles drawn out by John Huss and his adherents" in page 409 and then by several other chapters. However, in the page headers the title "History of the Bohemians" is kept until the page 496. Originally, I decided to ignore the page headers and started dividing the work according to the individual chapter titles as written inside the book and in the contents (although some minor discrepancies between these two also occurred), such as The Letter of Pope John to King Wenceslaus. However, then I came to the page 449 with the chapter called "Supplication of the Barons to the Emperor Sigismund for John Huss", containing a letter of Czech nobles. This letter is very short and after this the description of the process with John Huss continues without any title dividing it from the previous chapter. I do not think it would be a good idea to include this text under the previous chapter too. One solution could be divising some artificial name for this text and creating a separate chapter for it, but this artificial chapter would not be linked from the contents anyway. Another solution would be gathering all the text from page 405 until 496 (i.e. the pages carrying the header "History of Bohemians") into one very big chapter.

What do you think of it? --Jan Kameníček (talk) 18:03, 4 February 2020 (UTC)


 * This is a weird work. I think that technically the section "History of the Bohemians" is a cohesive section from page 405-496, but I also think you are right to split it up the way you have done. I think that I personally would do a separate chapter for where it "proceeds in the history" at the beginning of page 450. —Beleg Tâl (talk) 19:48, 4 February 2020 (UTC)
