    Source:

     P. Michael Hetzenauer, Ord. Min. Cap. editor.

       Biblia Sacra Vulgatae Editionis:

    I have transcribed from this source as accurately as possible for this e-text, with the following changes: 1) I formatted each verse into a separate line and added the chapter number to each verse number. In doing this I lost the source's paragraph structure. 2) I exploded the ligatures for ae and oe into two characters rather than one character for each diphthong. 3) Using the New American Bible as I guide I rearranged the verses to approximate the Greek Septuagint form of Esther. No verses were added or removed. I added a common alphabetical chaper designation format for the Septuagint sections; the original chapter:verse numbers are in brackets next to the letter designation. 4) I capitalized all of the section headings which were either in bold or italicized print originally. These sections headings may not be original to the Vulgate, but then neither are verse numbers. I modified these headers slightly in keeping with the reformatting. 5) I removed the footnotes, marginal notes, and appendix. 6) I added a note in English about the arrangement to the end of the body of the text.

    Please note that some sentence-like sections end with a period, but the following line does not begin with a capital letter. I recommend that this format remain. The source's editor seems to have been quite confident in the propriety of this approach. I have retained all of the source's capitalization and punctuation except for the section headers.

    65 is the target line length, but the margination is ragged at places.

    This text carries no warranty of any kind.
