SPELLINGS OF FIFTEENTH TO SEVENTEENTH CENTURY WRITERS

When it is necessary to reproduce the spellings and printed forms of old writers the following rules should be observed:

Initial u is printed v, as in vnderstande. Also in such combinations as wherevpon.

Medial v is printed u, as in haue, euer.

Initial and medial j are printed i, as in iealousie, iniurie.

In capitals the U is non-existent, and should always be printed with a V, initially and medially, as VNIVERSITY, FAVLCONRIE.

In y^e and y^t the second letter should be a superior, and without a full point.
