 EXPLANATIONS OF SIGNS, &c.

A stands for the older manuscript of the Short Treatise. B stands for the later manuscript of the Short Treatise. Where nothing is stated to the contrary the Translation follows A. [ ] Words in square brackets are those of the translator ; but ]* When there are asterisks outside the brackets, then B has the words in such brackets. f is used as a reference-mark to notes which are given in A. I is used as a reference-mark to notes indicating different readings, &c. &quot;. . . &quot; Occasionally words are put in inverted commas to draw attention to the fact that they are used in a peculiar sense. Explanations of difficult words and passages will be found at the end of the volume (p. 165 ff) arranged according to chapter and page. Beginners may omit, on a first reading, most ot the foot-notes in the Translation.
 * . . .* Words, &c., between asterisks are in B, but not in A.
