Clio, the Muse of History 2 years agoWhat awesomebaum said. The medial s looks a lot like an f. Many of the scans have accompanying text files, but I’ve found that these aren’t especially accurate either. Also, while there are a lot of neat things on Google Books, it’s not even close to being a complete set of data. But it’s an interesting study. :) I’d love to see this broken down by genre.
