Editionnotes: "An examination of a number of copies of the collected editions of Spenser’s works commonly designated as the 1611 and 1617 folios, reveals that in no case were these editions printed as a unit. Instead, they were made up by issuing as a single volume a number of separate sections which had been printed independently at periods often several years apart. A general title-page was prefixed to these issues of the collected works, bearing the date 1611 or 1617, but these dates are in many instances at variance with the component parts"--Cf. Johnson, p. 33. "The other works" also issued separately as STC 23094, 23087, 23077.7 and 23086.7. "The shepheards calender" has t.p. with imprint: "Printed by Bar: Alsop for Iohn Harrison the elder, ...". T.p. for "Prosopopoia" dated 1613. T.p. within ornamental border (McKerrow & Ferguson 212). All works have separate title-pages, dated 1617; with the exception of Prosopia which is dated 1613 and Colin Clout which is undated. Head- and tail-pieces and numerous woodcut vignettes, ornaments and initials throughout. Signatures: pi¹ A-P⁶ Q⁴ R-Z⁶ Aa-Hh⁶ A-E⁶ F⁴ A⁸ [par]⁸ A-L⁶ M². Signatures Hh6, F4 and [par]8 are blank, signatures [par]⁸ are bound in different places in different copies. The colophon on p. [364] is dated "16012" [sic]. The ESTC lists these items separately.
