Attached is my LilyPond approximation of that

Regarding the ye versus Þe -- it seems wrong to me to simulate the
appearance of a handwritten glyph (thorn, but looking like y) with the wrong
glyph.

This is a generic problem when typesetting hand-written texts. For example,
some people like to write a z with a tail ('long zett' IIRC). When
transcribing, should this be simulated with e.g. an ezh? Or just use a z
since that is the meaning of the glyph?


The original I'm using is not hand-written - it's printed - and the character used in it is an actual y.
