In fact, those mistakes look more like accurate transcriptions of Early Modern manuscripts - with their looser spelling rules and often idiosyncratic use of letters.

It's kind of interesting that they look like the same errors as those generated by OCR.

The difficulty of deciphering the text makes this huge task even more impressive!
