Apologies if this has been brought up before, but the French word for Jewish women [ plural ], is [ I believe ] , JUIVES. Which could have possibly been mistaken or written like it said JUWES , if the I was connected to the V .

Regards Darryl

That seems unlikely, especially as it seems that the i in the word will was dotted.

Why would a French-speaking writer describe women as men?

[DJA]

Because they were obviously not the men to be blamed

Just as it is obvious, according to you but no-one else, that English literature abounds with examples of the use of Juwes instead of Jews.

Actually two other long standing members of Casebook have posted the use of Juwes in those two publications.

You have to go further back to earlier printings.

You asked where to find The Bible,so I advised you.

Keep harassing me and you will be reported.

I have not harassed you.

I only asked you to corroborate the assertion you repeatedly made, by providing actual quotations from the literature you cited.

[DJA]

And I have told you where to go !

Would you please let us know who the two members are?

Just put the two posts that so bothered you in the search engine.

One was post 57.The other 63.

Might have to go further back the 2016.

I don't know why you took so long to find an example of the use of Juwes in literature and, moreover, in the meantime threatened to report me instead.

In the link you provided, there are four examples of the use of Jewes and three of Juwes.

In the version of Piers Plowman to which I referred there were 46 examples of Jewes and none of Juwes.

All this proves is that before spelling became standardised, people spelled words as they wished.

I do not think you are going to argue that the author of the GSG had read Piers Plowman and coincidentally read the version in which Jews is spelled Juwes.

By the time he wrote the GSG, the standard spelling was Jews and the only explanation for his spelling of Jews as Juwes is that he did not know how to spell it.

I don't know why you could not reply to my last post, # 87, instead of posting two entirely irrelevant comments.
