[Next Project] Essays and Dialogues by Giacomo Leopardi (trans. Charles Edwardes)

[Scott Voyles]

Hi folks,

I'd like to take a crack at this one, if there are no objections?

PG: https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/52356

Google Books: https://www.google.de/books/edition/Essays_and_Dialogues_of_Giacomo_Leopardi/KfwFAAAAQAAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=essays+and+dialogues+giacomo+leopardi&printsec=frontcover

For the cover art, I would use the portrait by Ferrazzi, though I've not found a suitable source for it yet.

OK, sure, you can work on that. Please send a link to your repo once you
start.

The whole thing should be pretty straightforward. There are quite a few
endnotes. Make sure each item is in an <article> element and not a
<section>. I would also cut the opening biographical sketch since it's
not especially interesting and there are more modern online sources for
the same information.

Hey Emma, I've got a question about the bibliographical note at the end of chapter 14 (p. 116 of the source text) - should this also be moved to the endnotes? I wasn't sure since this is not a citation, but I didn't immediately find anything in SEMOS 7.10 about it. What do you think?

[Emma Sweeney]

Yes, this would be an endnote.
