Comment Joop:

It is Tuesday, not Thursday; it's Wine month, not Summer month
The first witness is Peter Hug, not Hurger; the 3d is Valentin Jutzis, not Valentia Justus

It seems like all English oriented names/months/statements are in blockletters, although here even some of the German characters are
