What does (T) mean?

[Mutatis-Mutandis]

I'm currently reading the Hollanders' translation of Dante's Comedia, and it has pretty extensive notes. I've noticed that after some of the longer quotes within the notes, in place of a usual citation (i.e., name, date, etc.) there is only a capitalized "t" in parentheses: (T). What does this mean? I Googled it (didn't work--I don't think Google recognizes parentheses as part of a search) and tried Wikipedia with no results.

Any info would be great, as I have no clue on what it means.

Might be short for translator note.

Bump. Someone here surely can answer my question, as my continuing encounters with "(T)" become more confounding each time I happen upon it. :confused5:

You'll find the answer on page xix. of Hollander's Inferno:

Informational notes derived from Paget Toynbee's Concise Dante Dictionary of Proper Names and Notable Matters in the Works of Dante (Oxford: Clarendon 1914) are followed by the signum (T)...

Other abbreviations are covered here.

Thanks for the trouble, StLukes. You da man!

I'm sure I read that when I read Inferno, but don't remember. I thought maybe it stood for some broader literary term. Thanks for the clarification!

Just FYI, for lots of older texts, notes like (T) often refer to a certain manuscript. If your edition is translated from a certain manuscript, the editor will often note discrepancies between the one he chose and other extant manuscripts, giving you the citation for that MS with just such a note. Most of the time you wouldn't care, unless you're a scholar who actually wants to examine the manuscripts themselves.
