[DCRM-L] Odd [to me] text on a Latin-language thesis

[Jennifer K NELSON]

Hi Karen,

The chronogram will include anything that's weirdly capitalized, not just
the iubilemus word, so also the C and the LV before and after (and maybe
the D but Deo would be capitalized anyway)

Ho*C* anno *IV*bI*L*e*MV*s* D*eo pro *LV*thero.
