[ Errors and Inconsistencies]
Spelling in the Novels
Spelling is more consistent in this third volume than in the first two. Word-initial “u” and non-initial “v” are in the original. In Novel 29, the name “Diego” occurs often enough to establish consistency. In three places it is printed “Deigo”; they are not individually marked. The spelling “Ihon” is anomalous but occurs in other texts of similar age.
Specific words:
“the” is often used for “thee”
“liuetenaunt” occurs twice, “lieuetenaunt” once
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).
