I think this correction may be incorrect. In 'old' German, which is what this drawing would have been notated in, what we see as a lower case "b" is actually a German character that is taken to be "ss". I forget what its called and I don't know how to print this from my keyboard to show you what I mean.
Anyone know how to access the foreign letters on a keyboard?

I don't know how to access the foreign letters, but what you're refering to is commonly called an S Set and it looks like a capital B with a tail. It is acceptable to use either one by today's standards. Some of the other "mistakes" are that English doesn't use accents to change the pronounciation of vowels. The 2 dots over the vowel is called an umlaut. And an example would be A (ah) and A with umlaut (eh) (I think that's right, it's been quite a while since I've been to Germany). And the sound of a U with umlaut doesn't exist in English.
Just My 2 cents worth.
