This corpus-based study examines the orthographic systems in
thirteen editions of the Kalender of Shepherdes (1506-1656), a
comprehensive compendium of prose and verse texts of different
length and on a variety of subjects, for example, astronomy,
agriculture, medicine, and religion. It focuses on the variation
and consistency levels in the early-modern printers' spelling
practice, and evaluates the potential importance of
extra-linguistic motivation for the identified regularising changes
from the language authorities of the time, including
lexicographers, spelling reformers, orthoepists, grammarians, and
schoolmasters. Additionally, the book provides the reader with a
brief overview of the printers' punctuation, capitalisation, and
word-division conventions, as well as with selected bibliographical
and textual information concerning the publication history of the
Kalender of Shepherdes.
