Template:RQ:Grafton Chronicle/documentation

Usage

This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote from Richard Grafton's work A Chronicle at Large, and Meere History of the Affayres of Englande (1st edition, 1569; and 1809 version). It can be used to create a link to online versions of the work at the Internet Archive:

1st edition (1569): Volume I. Volume II.

1809 version (entitled Grafton's Chronicle; or, History of England: Volume I. Volume II.

(Both volumes of the 1st edition are in the same file.)

Parameters

The template takes the following parameters:

1st edition (1569)

• |2= or |chapter= –
  • the name of the chapter quoted from, if it is not indicated by the template. 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	To the Right Honorable Sir Wylliam Cecill Knight, Principall Secretary to the Queenes Maiesty, and of Hir Priuie Counsayle, Mayster of the Courtes of Wardes and Lyueries, and Chauncelour of the Vniuersitie of Cambridge: Richard Grafton Citezen of London, Wysheth Long Health wyth Encrease of Honor
*Reigns	A Table Declaring the Reignes of Euerie King of This Realme, [...]
Summary	A Summarie of the aforesaid Hystorie
*Thomas N.	Thomas N. to the Reader
*To the Gentle Reader	To the Gentle Reader
To the Reader	To the Reader

As the chapters marked with an asterisk (*) are unpaginated, use |3= or |page= to specify the "page number" assigned by the Internet Archive to the URL of the webpage to be linked to. For example, if the URL is https://archive.org/details/bim_early-english-books-1475-1640_a-chronicle-at-large-and_grafton-richard_1569/page/n2/mode/1up, specify |page=2. (The other chapters indicated above are also unpaginated, but the template can determine the URL.)

• If volume I is quoted from and the page number is specified, the template will determine the chapter quoted from. Use |2= or |chapter= to specify the name of a subchapter quoted from, if any.

• |3= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory in some cases: the page number(s) 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 determine, in volume I, the name of the chapter quoted from, and link to the online version of the work.

The pagination starts from 1 in each volume.

1809 version

• |year= – mandatory: if quoting from the 1809 version, specify |year=1809. If this parameter is omitted, the template defaults to the 1st edition (1569).
• |2= or |chapter= – the name of the chapter quoted from.
• |3= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory in some cases: the page number(s) quoted from in Arabic or lowercase Roman numerals, as the case may be. 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 or |pages=x–xi.
  • 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 the online version of the work.

Volume II is an imperfect copy; pages 155–160 are missing. Update the template with a better copy if one becomes available.

Both versions

• |1= or |volume= – mandatory: the volume number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals, either |volume=I or |volume=II. The contents of the volumes in the 1st edition and the 1809 version differ.
• |4=, |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.
