Quant à l’y, qui est surmonté d’un point, dans les mss. latins, et dans les mss. français en écriture Caroline, où il est d’ailleurs rare, mais qui est employé d’une façon abusive dans les mss. des gens de justice, ou bien il est sans accent dans ces mss., ou bien l’accent y est tracé sans que le copiste ait levé sa plume, et il fait corps avec la lettre elle-même.

As for the y, which is surmounted by a point, in the Latin mss., and in the French mss. in Caroline script, where it is rare, but which is used in an abusive way in the mss. of the people of justice, either it is without accent in these mss., or the accent is traced there without the copyist having lifted his pen, and it becomes one with the letter itself.

Caroline script! So the custom is much older than the 15th century.
