| yesterday | comment | added | user unknown | Just guessing: Rules for how to write (with special rules for the printing process and later for the use of typewriters) evolved and have only been codified with Duden around 1880. Maybe the habits changed between 1522 and 1545, maybe he got convinced meanwhile, that capitalization has advantages? | |
