Can someone help me understand all the Elizabethan typography rules. I already know about long s, but when are you supposed to replace v with u and vice versa? Also is capitalization arbitrary, or is there structure behind it? (I was once told that Elizabethans wrote every sentence as though it were a title of a book.)

As far as I'm concerned all nouns are capitalised, like in German.

U and V used to be the same letter. V was the capital form and u was the lowercase form.
So the word "Uvula" would have been written "Vuula".
Capitalization was more or less arbitrary although there was a vague idea that nouns signifying abstract concepts should be capitalized.

capitalisation is same as current german

"German" isn't capitalized in German, you untermensch.
