1611 Quarto: Copies

The information in this table has been gathered from Greg’s Bibliography of the English Printed Drama to the Restoration and the temporary version of the English Short Title Catalogue (ESTC) data generated by the Print & Probability (P&P) project in the wake of the cyberattack on the British Library. The P&P temporary version (estc.printprobability.org) is based on a 2014 capture of the ESTC data. All records have been checked in December 2024 against the library catalogues of the holding libraries. The shelfmark is linked directly to the library catalogue page permalink; if the catalogue entry does not have a direct link, I have added a note with a link to the catalogue homepage and a suggested search string.

There are digital and microfilm surrogates of a number of copies. The Huntington copy was microfilmed for the Early English Books microfilm series (Reel 839 Position 11), which in turn was digitized for Early English Books Online (ProQuest document ID 2240878366). Given that copies selected for EEB/EEBO have become inadvertently canonical, recent digitizations of other copies are welcome, particularly because they are all open-access, full-colour scans. The Beinecke copy is fully digitized. The Harry Ransom Center has digitized both its Pforzheimer and Wrenn copies. The Folger has digitized the title page of one of its two copies (the Bridgewater copy). The National Library of Scotland and the Houghton Library have made microfilms of their copies for use on site.

The title page survives in two variant states. Some title pages have the variant defining while others have deifying. The fourth column of the table indicates which variant appears on the title page of the copy. A parenthetical note indicates if the information has been derived from library catalogue metadata and thus not confirmed by personal viewing.
