Would there be interest in an edition of The Lais of Marie de France? They are medieval fairy tales of knights, chivalry, and the like. It appears to be within the boundaries of the "Collections Policy" but perhaps too obscure/off topic for SE. 

I was going to make a copy for my own use and thought I'd see if the extra mile to make an SE-compliant version was of interest.

It is about ~75,000 words.

Yes, this is something we would accept. However the intro makes it clear
that this book is a collection of various French medieval stories, not
just Marie de France's lais. So, if we're going to call it "Lais" by
Marie de France, we should trim anything that she did not write.

The page scans of the later edition contain a note by Elizabeth A
Francis that say that the first 12 lais are by Marie de France. The rest
seem to either not be attributable to Marie, or are stories by someone
else.

So if we're going to do this book, it appears like it should only
contain the first 12 lais in the PG transcription.

The intro is interesting and we can keep it, but it refers to some of
the material we would be removing. So, you could either remove those
references entirely, or, if it wouldn't make sense to do that, add
endnotes saying we removed them for this SE edition.

Make sure to read the Standard Ebooks Manual of Style before starting,
as you won't know what to fix if you haven't read the standards. In
particular, please closely review the semantics, high level patterns,
and typography sections:

https://standardebooks.org/manual

https://standardebooks.org/manual/latest/4-semantics

https://standardebooks.org/manual/latest/7-high-level-structural-patterns

https://standardebooks.org/manual/latest/8-typography

The step by step guide will take you from start to finish:

https://standardebooks.org/contribute/producing-an-ebook-step-by-step

Please email often if you have any questions at all. Our standards are
well-established so there is probably already a standard for formatting
whatever problem you've encountered.

When you're ready, email back with a link to your Github repository so
that I can mark you as having started.

Have fun! :)

Awesome. Your point about only including works which are Marie's makes sense, assuming a more 'single-author' approach for the SE collection is preferred. 

(I suppose it could be produced as a multi-author 'medieval stories' collection if there was a preference for that, but I'm happy to run with it as just the 12 stories)

Will report back when a repo is going.

The basic steps have been completed in a first draft and I am proofreading.

Hi Lukas, Emma, nice to "meet" you both, and thank you for your help. 

So far as I can tell, the production is ready for review, excepting the selection of cover art, discussed below.

In addition to the standard production tasks, I have removed the material Alex suggested from the text, and lightly altered the introduction to omit references to those works (those changes and other editorial changes have the [Editorial] in the commit message).


As for cover art, I'd like to suggest The Shadow by Edmund Blair Leighton. It is thematically appropriate, an oil painting, and SE has used other of Leighton's works so the style may feel familiar. I have a few other possibilities if this one is not appropriate for some reason.

PD Proof: https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=gri.ark:/13960/t9286xk92&view=1up&seq=126&q1=leighton

which was found via the link on the 'Uncategorized art books' page that has link text:
(this is a whole series) Royal Academy pictures and sculpture. 1900

It would look roughly like this if used (this is not a full resolution image, I scaled it down for space here).

Thanks and let me know what the appropriate next steps are.

OK, everything looks good Mark and I've gone ahead and released it. Thanks!

For future productions, we only modernize *spelling* not *words*. So
words like "builded" are not modernized to "built" because it's a
different (archaic) word, not a sound-alike spelling of the same word.
Likewise diacritics purposefully used for prosodic effect (like agèd)
are left in.

If you'd like to produce another book, check out our wanted list for
moderate-difficulty productions, or pitch something else that interests
you to the mailing list. Thanks again!

Awesome, thanks!

Re: 'builded', got it, makes sense.

Re:  prosodic effect (like agèd): 'se find-mismatched-diacritics' listed an error because the word occurred 3 times with the diacritic, and 3 times without. I changed the three with diacritics to remove them, to ensure consistency - would the preference be in future to add the diacritics where they did not occur? Or simply to leave the word occurring differently as the original transcription had them?

Thanks again, good fun.

Mark

In this case they are obviously used for effect, so we would leave them
in in that case.

`se find-mismatched-diacritics` is more for just spotting typos either
in print or transcription, when a word that obviously needs diacritics
based on the rest of the text is missing it.
