Punctuation, hyphenation, and spelling were made consistent when a predominant preference was found in this book; otherwise they were not changed.

Simple typographical errors were corrected.

Due to light or faded printing, some page references in the Index appeared to be separated by a space, rather than by a comma or a dash. The transcribers attempted to remedy these, usually with dashes, by examining the referenced text.

The Index was not checked for correct page references.

Text spells the twelfth Hebrew month as "Elul" and as "Ellul".

Page 77: "It is not known in how far" was printed that way.

Page 173: "If hundred Jews were assembled" probably should begin with "If a hundred".

Page 175: "kept in goal" possibly should be "gaol".

Page 205: "wordly-minded" changed to "worldly-minded"; the latter occurs elsewhere in this text.

Page 331: "Francisco de Santa FÉ" was printed as "Sante-FÉ", but was changed to be consistent with all similar constructs in this book.

Page 419: "For though, constrained" was punctuated that way.

Page 718: "Esther (Esterka), wife of Casimir the Great" was referenced to page 122; the correct page is 112, and has been changed here.

Page 710: The index references "Albassi, Jacob", but the name is spelled "Abbassi" on the referenced page (60). Neither has been changed here.

Page 721: "Gonzaga, Ludovico," was printed as "Gonzago" but has been changed here to match the spelling on page 287. The next entry, "Gonzago, Vicenzo" has not been changed, as it is spelled "Gonzago" on page 659. In modern references, both names are spelled "Gonzaga".

Page 721: "GratiÑo" is spelled "GatiÑo" on the page it references; neither has been changed here. The Index contains similar discrepancies, most of which are not mentioned in these notes.

Page 723: "Ibn-Gebirol" was spelled "Ibn-Gebriol" in the original, but has been changed to match the spelling on the three pages this entry references.

Page 738: "See Jews of Spain, Africa, Italy, and the East." and a few other entries in the Index contain indeterminate references that have not been linked.
