Leviathan — Page 2
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.
J'ai limité mon utilisation des majuscules intégrales aux endroits où Hobbes les utilisait, à l'exception des titres de chapitres, que j'ai entièrement mis en majuscules, là où Hobbes utilisait un mélange de majuscules intégrales et d'italiques.
Where it is clear that the italics are to indicate the text is quoting, I have introduced quotation marks.
Lorsqu'il est évident que les italiques indiquent que le texte est une citation, j'ai introduit des guillemets.
Within quotation marks I have retained the capitalization that Hobbes used.
À l'intérieur des guillemets, j'ai conservé les majuscules utilisées par 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.
Lorsque les italiques semblent être utilisées pour marquer l'emphase, pour des noms propres, ou simplement par habitude, j'ai mis en majuscule la lettre initiale des mots.
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.
Cela présente l'inconvénient de ne pas les distinguer de ceux que Hobbes avait mis en majuscules dans le texte ordinaire, mais l'étendue de ses italiques rendrait le texte très laid si je devais utiliser un trait de soulignement ou une barre oblique.
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.
Lorsque les notes de marge servent soit à introduire le sujet du paragraphe, soit à indiquer où il introduit des définitions de mots, je les ai incluses en tant qu'en-têtes du paragraphe, également avec une majuscule initiale pour tous les mots, et sur une ligne raccourcie.
For margin references to quotes, I have included them in the text, in brackets immediately next to the quotation.
Pour les références en marge relatives aux citations, je les ai incluses dans le texte, entre parenthèses immédiatement après la citation.
Where Hobbes included references in the main text, I have left them as he put them, except to change his square brackets to round.
Lorsque Hobbes incluait des références dans le texte principal, je les ai laissées telles qu'il les avait placées, à l'exception du remplacement de ses crochets par des parenthèses.
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.
Pour l'alphabet grec, j'ai simplement substitué les lettres ordinaires les plus proches possible, et j'ai utilisé des majuscules initiales pour les mots en langue étrangère.
