[ Errors and Inconsistencies]
Spelling in the Novels
Fused forms such as “thende” occur side by side with “the ende”. Word-initial “u” and non-initial “v” are in the original.
Specific words:
“renowme” is far more frequent than “renowne”
“alablaster” is standard for the period
“Cræsus” is used consistently
Errors
The printed book did not include an Errata list. It is therefore impossible to tell whether irregularities of spelling, punctuation and typography in the primary text are unique to the Jacobs edition (1890), or whether they were deliberately carried over from Haslewood (1813) and/or Painter (1566 and later).
Errors and anomalies are handled in one of three ways, all using mouse-hover popups:
Clear errors in the text are marked but not changed: guie.
