We may never know what the author wrote. Whatever is printed might have been, if not a mistake, a conscious choice of the author, a reflection of different conventions at different times, or the evil doings of some ignorant/pedant editor or typesetter.
Even if we are sure the author wrote something, it was (is?) often the case that authors didn't try to get it "right", expecting others to fix the spelling, punctuation, typesetting, etc.
In this particular case, if the spelling is consistent, and considering the
origin of the name, I'd probably leave it as "Brontļ", maybe with a note.
