Hi, gang, Just a comment from Kim here. During the seventeenth century, the
word "wave" would be spelled W-A-u-e. I also noticed that in the eighteenth
century, the letter S would be written with a letter F. Apparently what
happened with old Spanish affected Early modern English as well. H'mm! I
wonder if this orthography was universal throughout western Europe? Regards,
Kim aka Ellinder.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] OK, gang, got a weird one!
Hi all,
I'm working on The Lady in Blue by Javier Sierra. At the end of the book is
a document written in old Spanish. Some of the "abnormalities" are standard
orthographic conventions of the period, things like using the letter u where
in modern Spanish there would be a V. others are the result of the font.
So, for instance, the letter S looks like an F. This also is typical of
period texts. My question: Should I correct/modernize it, or should I leave
it? One option would be to correct font issues, but leave the period
orthography intact. There is an English translation following the Spanish
text.
I appreciate any input.
Thanks,
Donna
