The Goulston Street Juwes

If you had read the introduction in the link posted in #68,you would find that there were many differences in various printings.

My source,as quoted,is impeccable.

My preferences lay with quality rather than quantity.

Your source spells Jew as Jew and Jews as Jewes.

Where is the evidence that your source spells Jews as Juwes?

[DJA]

I refer to # 67.

If you cannot dispute the information contained in it, including 46 references to the spelling of Jews as Jews in a work in which you claim the same word was spelled as Juwes, will you please have the courtesy to concede that you are mistaken.

[PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR 1]

In addition to appearing in the Bible, the spelling of the word "Jews" as "Juwes" pops up in English Literature too, such as in the famous 14th C. work 'Piers Ploughman'. 'Piers Ploughman' is considered to be one of the great works of early English Literature. It has been published and re-published for over 600 years, including in the 19th Century.

That is not true.

The word Jews appears as Jews in 3:302, 3:327, 5:238, 9:80, 9:85, 9:88, 10:35, 10:346, 11:120, 12:73, 12:78, 12:89, 12:91, 12:275, 13:210, 14:389, 14:500, 15:581, 15:594, 15:604, 15:606, 16:120, 167:128, 16:138, 16:147, 16:154, 167:162, 18:17, 18:27, 18:38, 18:41, 18:82, 18:92, 18:110, 18:257, 18:301, 19:10, 19:15, 19:31, 19:34, 19:44, 19:48, 19:139, 19:140, 19:154, 19:426.

The word Jew appears in 9:82, 10:128, 11:246, 12:42, 15:264.

The word Jewish appears in 1:67, 15:583.

There is not a single instance of Jews being spelled as Juwes.

How about "The Shoemaker's Holiday"?

Which edition ?

I surmise The Geneva Bible still used Juwes.

The word Jews, as spelled in the Geneva Bible, does not contain the letter u.

Ergo, the word "Juwes" existed as the term for those referred to in historical documentation as "Jews" long long ago...

Where is the evidence to support what you claim to be true?

[DJA]

Simply put, the word "Juwe" and "Juwes" existed prior to the use of the word "Jew". This word "Jew" appears in the English language after the translation of the bible (King James) from Latin into Anglo-Saxon (English). Hence it is a relatively modern transliteration of the Hebrew, "Iudhi/Iudha".
Ergo, the word "Juwes" existed as the term for those referred to in historical documentation as "Jews" long long ago...and surprising, during 1888 and even TODAY! It exists in the British Museum Library (just down the road from Whitechapel) and the Bodlian Library, Oxford (just up the road from Whitechapel), in fact, up and down, and in me Laydis Chamber.
Who would know of this term "Juwes", in 1888? I ASSUME scholars of the ilk of Warren, Anderson, and of course, the Chief Rabbi.
