These digital editions are diplomatic transcriptions. Our goal has been to provide clean, readable TEI transcriptions of all the extant mayoral shows from 1585 to 1639. Because this corpus has never before been made available in one place, we provide XML base texts that other scholars can repurpose according to our Creative Commons Licence.
We treat title pages, dedications, and prefaces as front matter, encoded with the Finis

Our practice has been to preserve most of the typographical, orthographical, and compositorial features of the original text. We use CSS styling to describe the peculiarities of font and justification. We also include links to the page images on EEBO; users who subscribe to EEBO may thus view the pages at any point and judge our transcription thereof for themselves.
Our encoders follow these rules for preserving or regularizing the text:
We have interpreted and encoded toponyms, names, and dates. The encoding of toponyms requires some research to point the toponym to the right location file (and thence to the map), but the relative stability of the processional route has meant that we have high confidence in our encoding of toponyms in the mayoral shows. When our encoding has veered into interpretation, such as in our decision to encode abstract nouns as allegorical characters even when it is not completely clear that the abstraction is embodied by an actor, we have encoded with the goal of building analytical capacity into our texts, such as the capacity for users to search for characters like Time across the corpus of mayoral shows. For our treatment of early modern dates, see our encoding instructions at Encode a Date. Other than toponyms, names, and dates, we have undertaken no interpretative encoding.
Our editorial and encoding practices are documented in detail in the Praxis section of our website.
