Documentation for Template:RQ:Camden Remaines. [edit]
This page contains usage information, categories, interwiki links and other content describing the template.

Usage

[edit]

This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from William Camden's work Remaines of a Greater Work, Concerning Britaine (1st edition, 1605; and 3rd edition, 1623). It can be used to create a link to online versions of the work at Google Books and the Internet Archive:

Parameters

[edit]

The template takes the following parameters:

  • |edition=mandatory in some cases: if quoting from the 3rd edition (1623), specify |edition=3rd. If this parameter is omitted, the template defaults to the 1st edition (1605).
  • |1= or |chapter= – the name of the chapter quoted from. If quoting from one of the chapters indicated in the second column of the following table, give the parameter the value indicated in the first column:
Parameter value Result
Epistle Dedicatory To the Right Worshipfull, Worthy, and Learned Sir Robert Cotton of Connington Knight
Swadon Upon the Death of Queene Anne, Wife of Our Soveraigne Lord King Iames (by William Swaddon; only in the 3rd edition, inserted between pages 344 and 345)
As the above chapters are unpaginated, use |2= or |page= to specify the "page number" assigned by Google Books or the Internet Archive to the URL of the webpage to be linked to. For example, if the URL is https://books.google.com/books?id=aogyAQAAMAAJ&pg=PP9 specify |page=9, and if it is https://archive.org/details/bim_early-english-books-1475-1640_remaines-of-a-greater-wo_camden-william_1623/page/n2/mode/1up specify |page=2.
  • |2= or |page=, or |pages=mandatory in some cases: the page or range of pages quoted from. If quoting a range of pages, note the following:
    • Separate the first and last page number of the range with an en dash, like this: |pages=10–11.
    • You must also use |pageref= to indicate the page to be linked to (usually the page on which the Wiktionary entry appears).
This parameter must be specified to have the template link to an online version of the work.

In the 3rd edition:

  • Page 7 is misprinted as 6; specify it as |page=7.
  • Page numbers 9 and 10 are repeated; the text is unaffected. Specify the second set of numbers as |page=9A and |page=10A.
  • |3=, |text=, or |passage= – the passage to be quoted.
  • |footer= – a comment on the passage quoted.
  • |brackets= – use |brackets=on to surround a quotation with brackets. This indicates that the quotation either contains a mere mention of a term (for example, "some people find the word manoeuvre hard to spell") rather than an actual use of it (for example, "we need to manoeuvre carefully to avoid causing upset"), or does not provide an actual instance of a term but provides information about related terms.
