Fishing
Page 2. The following sentence appears: “The seconde is labour not
outrageoꝰ.” In the text edition, the mark following _outrageo_ has
been transcribed as “ꝰ” (u+a770, modifier letter US). This character
occurs only once in the text.
Page 7. The phrase “For is is lyke y^e wedys” was changed to “For
it is lyke y^e wedys”. In the phrase rendered herein as “that it
woll desyre ynough”, it has been suggested that the penultimate word
should perhaps be “befyxe” instead.
Page 8. In “And gretter hokes ye shall mabe in the same wyse”, “mabe”
should perhaps be “make”?
Page 10. In the illustration caption, “Pln̄be : Corke” should perhaps
be “Plūbe : Corke”.
Page 12. In “the more he smymmyth aboue”, the word should perhaps be
“swymmyth”.
Page 13. In “in ony other placys where ye may se ony fyssh houe or
ha | ne ony fedynge”, “ha | ne” should perhaps be “ha | ue”?
Page 17. In the phrase rendered herein “heeryd : & the hon | ie
combe.”, “hon | ie” was originally printed as “hou | ie”.
Page 18. A smudge after the ampersand was ignored in the phrase “on
the osyer & the codworme”.
Page 19. In “cast it in the water wyth a corde & a corke ”, the
illegible mark ahead of “cord” has been transcribed “a ”. Also, the
phrase “or ellis on y^e gron̄de” possibly should be “or ellis on y^e
groūde”.
Page 20. In “But whan they ben in a slough”, the original print
looked like “ben|in”, with a thick black line between “ben” and “in”.
In the phrase “¶ A nother take the sewet”, there was a smudge after
“nother” that might be taken for a comma, removed from this ebook
edition. There were no other commas in the blackletter section of the
book.
