Leviathan — Page 2

English → Spanish Preface Level 9/10

I have restricted my use of full capitalization to those places where Hobbes used it, except in the chapter headings, which I have fully capitalized, where Hobbes used a mixture of full capitalization and italics.

He restringido mi uso de mayúsculas completas a aquellos lugares donde Hobbes las utilizó, excepto en los encabezados de capítulo, que he escrito completamente en mayúsculas, donde Hobbes empleaba una mezcla de mayúsculas completas y cursivas.

Where it is clear that the italics are to indicate the text is quoting, I have introduced quotation marks.

Donde resulta evidente que las cursivas indican que el texto está citando, he introducido comillas.

Within quotation marks I have retained the capitalization that Hobbes used.

Dentro de las comillas he conservado el uso de mayúsculas que empleaba Hobbes.

Where italics seem to be used for emphasis, or for proper names, or just because, I have capitalized the initial letter of the words.

Donde las cursivas parecen emplearse para dar énfasis, o para nombres propios, o simplemente porque sí, he escrito en mayúscula la letra inicial de las palabras.

This has the disadvantage that they are not then distinguished from those that Hobbes capitalized in plain text, but the extent of his italics would make the text very ugly if I was to use an underscore or slash.

Esto tiene la desventaja de que no se distinguen de aquellas palabras que Hobbes escribió en mayúsculas en texto normal, pero la extensión de sus cursivas haría el texto muy poco estético si se utilizara un subrayado o una barra.

Where the margin notes are either to introduce the paragraph subject, or to show where he introduces word definitions, I have included them as headers to the paragraph, again with all words having initial capitals, and on a shortened line.

Donde las notas al margen sirven para introducir el tema del párrafo, o para mostrar dónde introduce definiciones de palabras, las he incluido como encabezados del párrafo, también con mayúscula inicial en todas las palabras, y en una línea más corta.

For margin references to quotes, I have included them in the text, in brackets immediately next to the quotation.

En cuanto a las referencias marginales a citas, las he incluido en el texto, entre paréntesis inmediatamente junto a la cita.

Where Hobbes included references in the main text, I have left them as he put them, except to change his square brackets to round.

Donde Hobbes incluyó referencias en el texto principal, las he dejado tal como él las puso, salvo por cambiar sus corchetes por paréntesis.

For the Greek alphabet, I have simply substituted the nearest ordinary letters that I can, and I have used initial capitals for foreign language words.

En cuanto al alfabeto griego, simplemente he sustituido las letras ordinarias más cercanas que he podido encontrar, y he usado mayúscula inicial para las palabras en idiomas extranjeros.
