Footnote Issues
Project Gutenberg EPUB3 edition
Plotinus and Guthrie, Kenneth Sylvan
In these notes, "anchor" means the reference to a footnote, and "footnote" means the information to which the anchor refers. Anchors occur within the main text, while footnotes are grouped in sequence at the end of this eBook. The structure of the original book required some exceptions to this, as explained below.
The original text used chapter endnotes. In this eBook, they have been combined into a single, ascending sequence based on the sequence in which the footnotes (not the anchors) occurred in the original book, and placed at the end of the main text, just before the Concordance.
Four kinds of irregularities occurred in the footnotes:
Some footnotes are referenced by more than one anchor, so two or more anchors may refer to the same footnote.
Some anchors were out of sequence, apparently because they were added afterwards or because they are share a footnote with another anchor. They have been renumbered to match the numbers of the footnotes to which they refer.
Some footnotes have no anchors. These are noted below.
One footnote was misprinted beyond repair, and the next three footnotes were missing. These are noted below.
Page 1076: Footnote 61 (originally 42) has no anchor; the missing anchor would be in page range 1062–1064.
Page 1121: Footnote 100 (originally 4) has no anchor; the missing anchor would be in page range 1091–1093.
Page 1121: Footnote 103 (originally 7) has no anchor; the missing anchor would be in page range 1094–1097. Anchor 99 (originally 3) on page 1094 could be the missing anchor, as that number also is used on page 1091.
Page 1188: Footnote 210 (originally 13) has no anchor; the missing anchor would be on page 1171 or 1172.
Page 1189: Footnote 226 (originally 29) has no anchor; the missing anchor would be on page 1174 or 1175.
Page 1253: Footnote 329 (originally 9) has no anchor; the missing anchor would be in page range 1219–1226.
Page 1287: Footnote 469 (originally 98) has no anchor; the missing anchor would be on page 1287.
Page 1333: Footnote 758 (originally 21) appears to be misprinted, and the next three footnotes 759–761 (originally 22–24) are missing.
