Usage

edit

This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from John Harington's English translation of Ludovico Ariosto's work Orlando Furioso entitled Orlando Furioso in English Heroical Verse (1st edition, 1591). It can be used to create a link to an online version of the work at the Internet Archive.

Parameters

edit

The template takes the following parameters:

  • |chapter= – mandatory in some cases: the name of the chapter quoted from. If quoting from a chapter indicated in the second column of the following table, give the parameter the value indicated in the first column:
Parameter value Result
Advertisement An Advertisement to the Reader before He Reade This Poeme, of Some Things to be Observed, as well in the Substance of This Worke, as also in the Setting Foorth thereof, with the Use of the Pictures, Table, and Annotations to the Same Annexed
Allegorie A Briefe and Summarie Allegorie of Orlando Furioso, Not Unpleasant nor Unprofitable for Those that Haue Read the Former Poeme
Epistle Dedicatory To the Most Excellent, Vertuous, and Noble Princesse, Elizabeth by the Grace of God Queene of England, France and Ireland, Defender of the Faith, &c.
Life The Life of Ariosto Briefly and Compendiously Gathered out of Sundrie Italian Writers by Iohn Harington
Preface A Preface, or Rather a Briefe Apologie of Poetrie, and of the Author and Translator of the Poem
As the preface is unpaginated, use |2= 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/orlandofuriosoin00ario_0/page/n7/mode/1up, specify |page=7. (The "Advertisement to the Reader" and epistle dedicatory are also unpaginated, but the template is able to determine the URL. The rest of the chapters are paginated.)
  • |1= or |book= – mandatory in some cases: if quoting from the main part of the work, the book number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals, from |book=I to |book=XLVI.
  • |stanza= – the stanza number quoted from in Arabic numerals.
  • |notes= – if quoting from one of the notes, specify |notes=1 or |notes=yes.
  • |2= 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 link to the online version of the work.
  • |column= or |columns= – the column number(s) quoted from, either |column=1 or |column=2. If quoting from both columns, either omit this parameter or separate the column numbers with an en dash, like this: |columns=1–2.
  • |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.
