SHAKESPEARE, William (1564-1616). Comedies, Histories, and Tragedies. Published according to the true Originall Copies. The second Impression. Edited by John Heminge (d. 1630) and Henry Condell (d. 1627). London: Printed by Thomas Cotes, for John Smethwick, William Aspley, Richard Hawkins Richard Meighen, and Robert Allot 1632. Median 2 o (314 x 210 mm). Engraved portrait vignette (third state) on title (torn, with portion of title and portrait missing, title laid down, lacks A1 and mm1-ddd4). 19th-century morocco gilt, with coat-of-arms of Sion College in center of upper cover. Provenance : Sion College Library (bookplate and ink stamp on verso of title). SECOND FOLIO, third issue with Allot's name on title. The publication of Shakespeare's plays was shared by the five publishers listed in the colophon, all of whom were proprietors of rights to one or more of the plays. Robert Allot took the largest interest in the edition (STC 22274 and 22274a), which his widow assigned to John Legat the younger and Andrew Crooke the elder in 1637, who were responsible for subsequent issues of the edition circa 1641 (STC 22274e.3 and 22274e.5). The Second Folio contains JOHN MILTON'S FIRST APPEARANCE IN PRINT: an epitaph on Shakespeare in 16 verses. It appears that the last 8 tragedies in this copy have been lacking for a long time. A 19th-century note signed W.R. states that "These leaves have been lately cut out. It is the interest of every Student here to clear themselves to me, and endeavour to detect so mischievous a person." A.W. Pollard. Shakespeare Folios and Quartos: A Study in the Bibliography of Shakespeare's Plays. London, 1909; W.B. Todd. "The Issues and States of the Second Folio and Milton's Epitaph," in: Studies in Bibliography V (1952-53), pp 81-108; W.W. Greg. A Bibliography of the English Printed Drama to the Restoration III. (London, 1957), pp 1113-15; Greg III, 1113-1116; Pforzheimer 906; STC 22274a. Sold not subject to return.
