Medieval is misspelled in the link, in the book title, and in the book summary. Only the book cover image has it correctly.

Actually, this is the spelling as it is used in the original book (albeit with ligature, is that how you call it?)

Life in a MediƦval City
http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/17848

We use the same title as in the online text to avoid confusion. So, strictly speaking, it's the cover that is wrong. :)

As a covermaker I would just point out that typing diphthongs is almost impossible :D. (I use diphthong so rarely I thought I should check it out - which was just as well - I seem to pronounce it dipthong whereas it should be dif-thong :oops: )
