[DCRM-L] Link to image of "Ye" that really SHOULD be "Ye" and not "[The]"

[Erin Blake]

At last! The elusive "Ye Olde Nostalgicke Title"  in an online image collection. Check out the song title at http://luna.folger.edu/luna/servlet/s/2gf700 (see http://luna.folger.edu/luna/servlet/s/3s5ibf for the entire publication).

Note that the descriptive metadata in the Folger's digital image collection isn't formally controlled yet, so don't take this as a model (especially not with the typos, which have reported for correction). The point of the link is just to say "Hey! Look! This post-dates the transition from the brevigraph for 'the' that looks like a 'y' with a tiny 'e' on top of it to that brevigraph's conflation with the spelling of the pronoun "ye",  so it really IS a 'y' with an 'e' next to it." Presumably still non-filing, though, since it's intended as a definite article.

Erin.
