I was given an antique German book as a gift recently. It has a copyright of 1891.?
It was printed by D. C. Heath & Co., Publishers, in Boston, USA. The title of the book is Höher als die Kirche (higher than the church). The author was Wilhelmine Von Hillern. The odd thing about this book, is the way the "s" is sometimes replaced with an "f". Here is a sample of the text from the very beginning:
"Gewiß find fchon viele meiner freundlichen Lefer auf einer Reife in die Schweiz..."
Here is what the spelling would look like today:
Gewiß find schon viele meiner freundlichen Leser auf einer Reise in die Schweiz..."
There is no special distinction between a normal "f" and an "f" substituted for an "s" The reader during those times must have had to have known some rule for this substitution in order to decipher it into sensible reading.
Can anyone tell me why this practice might have been common in these times, and the reason behind such a practice?
Thank you in advance.
Techniqlly im not answering your question but i recommend looking it up and possibly seeing someone about it who could tell you. Ill look for a website and try to find one possibly
