<em>Did he really write Septimus Severus on page 77?</em><br>
<br>
Yup - just checked my dead-tree version.<br>
<br>
There are quite a few boo-boos in the original, but that is true of <em>all</em> books except the Gutenberg 42-line bible, which is allegedly the only printed book free of literals. Errors in the OCR process (such as the repeated appearance of Dragendorif for Dragendorff) tend to be all of the same type and many of them deriving from the fact that the number 1 looks like a capital I in the Caslon font in which the book was set.<br>
<br>
If anybody spots any errors, let me know, and I will put the originals on a Corrigenda page and correct those that are down to me or my OCR software.<br>
