Stanford copy 13 7/16" A.W. Pollard -text, page for page reprint of 1623 ed., the number of leaves is the same. 1st folio Tat in the imprint, the name of Isaac Jaggerd replaces that of his father William (as in the colophon) might be explained by the latters death some time before 4 Nov. 1623. 3rd folio 3 different printers Roger Daniels (1663-4) John Hayes(?) Alice Warren - widow of Thomas The 2nd folio is remarkable for an important publishing "first" namely, the 1st appearance in print of John Milton's work. His 16 line rhymed couplets "An Epitaph on the admirable Dramatic Poet, W. Shakespeare" appears on the famous "Effigies" leaf. -of the 4 folios, only the 1st is considered to have any textural authority.

It was in 1632 that a start was made in re-editing the 1st Folio. The actual editors of the successive folios subjected the spelling of the 1st folio to a continuous modernization, + various slight grammatical or syntactical irregularities are smoothed away. 1st Folio 12 5/8 x 8 1/8" - printing began at Jaggard's shop in Barbican (London) in 1621 + was not completed until late in 1623. Apparently the 1st plan had been to bring out 3 folios, as the Comedies, Histories + Tragedies [inserted] Shakespeare Folios Haverford College Ref Z2012 H385 [end inserted] have seperate paginations for each group. As published, however, the single vol. of the 1st F contains all 3 in a book of 908 7 pages. The plays are printed in a Roman type of a size slightly smaller than modern pica in 2 columns to the page. original price =1 500-1000 copies (estimate) 2nd Folio - some unknown person (or persons) went through the plays, revising the spelling, improving syntax + regularizing all Latin names + stage directions. This unknown "editor" even attempted to clarify "the meaning" of some individual [inserted] 3rd F ('64) 13x8 3/8" 4th F 13 11/16 x 8 3/4" [end inserted] lines. The 2nd F, therefore is by no means a mere reprint of the 1st (1000 copies) -2nd folio -163 perfect copies known -16, Smethwick variant -9 variant title pages -5 Allot, 1 Aspley, 1 Hawkins, 1 Meighen, 1 Smethwick. -3 variant "Effigies" leaves. The 2nd folio, like the 1st was printed upon crown paper of good quality, but unlike the 1st was made up from odd lots of paper bearing many different watermarks. Watermarks in teh Folio are frequently turned upside down.

Plate #18 Haebler. Basel. Type 2. "One may resonably doubt whether Puppels Type 2 is to be considered as a new type or whether it is not rather to be considered as a recasting on a somewhat smaller body of his Type 1. The forms of the letters agree almost absolutely. It is here that for the somewhat badly formed e of the 1st type, a clearer + more agreeable shape has been designed, but all the other differences are either not continued or may be accounted for by a change in the practice of setting. It is known what for reaching deductions the Gutenberg investigators have drawn from these differences of forms that are met with in single letters in Gutenberg's earliest books. A class study of the other early types will show that such alternatives are by no means annual with the types of the early days. Therefore, one must not give too much import ot these alterations."

THe volume was produced by B. Rappel the 1st pritner of Basel [inserted] introduced printing no later than 1468 [end inserted] who is believed to have been the assistant of Johann Gutenberg. "Batolff von Hannouwe", who testified in the lawsuit between Gutenberg + Fust in 1455.
