Documentation for Template:RQ:Speed Historie of Great Britaine. [edit]
This page contains usage information, categories, interwiki links and other content describing the template.

Usage[edit]

This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote John Speed's work The Historie of Great Britaine (1st edition, 1611; and 2nd 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:

1st edition (1611)
  • |2= or |page=, or |pages=mandatory in some cases: the page number(s) quoted from. When quoting a range of pages, note the following:
  • Separate the first and last pages of the range with an en dash, like this: |pages=10–11.
  • You must also use |pageref= to specify the page number that the template should link to (usually the page on which the Wiktionary entry appears).
You must specify this information to have the template determine the book number (V–X) quoted from, and to link to the online version of the work.
  • As this work is considered to be a continuation of The Theatre of the Empire of Great Britaine (1st edition, 1611; see {{RQ:Speed Empire of Great Britaine}}), it begins from page 151.
  • The work is paginated 151–786 and 803–894. In between, the leaves are numbered by folios instead of pages, from folio 787 to 802. Use the parameters below to specify these folios.
  • |folio= and |verso=mandatory in some cases: from folio 787 to 802, the work is numbered by folios rather than page numbers. The folio number is indicated on the top right corner of each recto (right-hand) page. Use |folio= to indicate the folio number, and if quoting from a verso (left-hand) page specify |verso=1 or |verso=yes; if |verso= is omitted, the template indicates that a recto (right-hand) page is quoted. If quoting a range of folios, for example, "folios 787, verso – 788, recto", note the following:
    • Use |folio= and |verso= to specify the folio at the start of the range, and |folioend= and |versoend= (if required) to specify the folio at the end of the range.
    • In addition, use |folioref= and |versoref= to indicate the page to be linked to (usually the page on which the Wiktionary entry appears). (If quoting a recto page, omit |versoend= and |versoref=.)
These parameters must be specified to have the template link to the online version of the work.

Folio 802 is misprinted as a second occurrence of 801; specify it as |folio=802.

2nd edition (1623)
  • |edition=mandatory: if quoting from the 2nd edition (1623), specify |edition=2nd. If this parameter is omitted, the template defaults to the 1st edition (1611).
  • |2= or |page=, or |pages=mandatory in some cases: the page number(s) quoted from. When quoting a range of pages, note the following:
  • Separate the first and last pages of the range with an en dash, like this: |pages=10–11.
  • You must also use |pageref= to specify the page number that the template should link to (usually the page on which the Wiktionary entry appears).
You must specify this information to have the template determine the book number (V–X) quoted from, and to link to the online version of the work.

The work is paginated 1–1058 and 1107–1257. In between, the leaves are numbered by folios instead of pages, from folio 1059 to 1101. Use the parameters below to specify these folios.

  • |folio= and |verso=mandatory in some cases: from folio 1059 to 1101, the work is numbered by folios rather than page numbers. The folio number is indicated on the top right corner of each recto (right-hand) page. Use |folio= to indicate the folio number, and if quoting from a verso (left-hand) page specify |verso=1 or |verso=yes; if |verso= is omitted, the template indicates that a recto (right-hand) page is quoted. If quoting a range of folios, for example, "folios 1059, verso – 1060, recto", note the following:
    • Use |folio= and |verso= to specify the folio at the start of the range, and |folioend= and |versoend= (if required) to specify the folio at the end of the range.
    • In addition, use |folioref= and |versoref= to indicate the page to be linked to (usually the page on which the Wiktionary entry appears). (If quoting a recto page, omit |versoend= and |versoref=.)
These parameters must be specified to have the template link to the online version of the work.

The folio numbers indicated in the following table are misprinted; specify the correct folio numbers:

Correct folio number Incorrect folio number Correct folio number Incorrect folio number
1061 *1060
(second occurrence)
1095 *1089
1062 *1101 1096A *1096
(second occurrence)
1084 *1076 1101 *1001
  • |book= – in most cases, if the page number is specified the template can determine the book number quoted from. However, it is unable to do so if page 43 is specified, in which case this parameter must be used to specify the book number in uppercase Roman numerals, either |book=V or |book=VI.
Both editions
  • |1= or |chapter= – the name of the chapter quoted from.
  • |column= or |columns= – the column number(s) quoted from. When quoting from both columns, either omit this parameter or specify |columns=1–2 with an en dash between the numbers.
  • |para= or |paragraph= – the paragraph number quoted from.
  • |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.
