Mary-Jo Kline's A Guide to Documentary Editing (second edition, 1997)
is a good guide to documentary editing generally. Problems and
expected practices tend to vary a lot depending on period and genre,
though. The Malone Society reprint series has a set of guidelines
specifically for doing reprints of English Renaissance texts, though
mostly dramatic texts: see the society's Collections, volume 4 (1956),
66-69.
