Anmerkung

May contain a series of witness or listWit elements.

The provision of a listWit element simplifies the automatic processing of the apparatus, e.g. the reconstruction of the readings for all witnesses from an exhaustive apparatus.

Situations commonly arise where there are many more or less fragmentary witnesses, such that there may be quite distinct groups of witnesses for different parts of a text or collection of texts. Such groups may be given separately, or nested within a single listWit element at the beginning of the file listing all the witnesses, partial and complete, for the text, with the attestation of fragmentary witnesses indicated within the apparatus by use of the witStart and witEnd elements described in section 13.1.5 Fragmentary Witnesses.

Note however that a given witness can only be defined once, and can therefore only appear within a single listWit element.
