Footnotes

Footnotes are numbered on the Corr-Proust Wiki in the order in which they appear in the linearized version of the text in the Corr-Proust digital edition, where postscriptums are placed at the bottom. In the Corr-Proust digital edition, footnotes are numbered in the order in which they appear in the text as formatted in Proust’s original document, where postscriptums are often found at the top of the letter. Therefore, in certain cases, the numbering order of footnotes on the Corr-Proust Wiki will differ from that found in the letter as published in the Corr-Proust digital edition. (Example: CP 02812 on the Corr-Proust Wiki vs. CP 02812 in the Corr-Proust digital edition).

The initials in brackets at the end of footnotes (e.g., [PK]) are the initials of the editors of the Corr-Proust digital edition.

In the second-to-last footnote of each letter, a space is provided for contributors to enter notes regarding their translations.

The final footnote of each letter contains a list of contributors who have worked on the translation of the letter.

Disclaimer: the Corr-Proust editors cannot guarantee the strict accuracy of every translation made available on the Corr-Proust Wiki. The quality of the translations is overseen by a self-monitoring community of contributors.
