Errors and Inconsistencies (noted by transcriber)
Inconsistent spellings were only regularized when there was a strong preponderance; changes are individually noted. The various spellings of the name now written “Shakespeare” are unchanged, as are the forms “Albert Durer” and “Gutemberg”. German citations consistently omit the period (full stop) in references such as “2 Theil”. Other unchanged forms include:
cross line : cross-line figuersnider : figursnider fore-/back-ground : fore/background type-founder : typefounder wood-cut : woodcut wood-engraver : wood engraver Schaufflein : Schäufflein
In the Index, missing or inconsistent punctuation was silently regularized.
