| Copynotes: | This copy is dated on the general title page 1613. There is no dedication to the queen. Also, it looks as if this page is not original. It looks as if someone pasted, or adhered in some way, a page over the original.
[1st part of the FQ] seems to lack a colophon, but the B3r has YOung Knight, (with the "o" in "young" in a capital letter).
The title page [of the 2nd part of the FQ] does not have a date, but the colophon has 16012.
This copy has 1611 [on the title page of the Shepheardes Calender].
All title pages for the [shorter poems after Colin Clouts] have 1611.
"Allegories" at the end of the first line of text on the Letter to Raleigh.

"The collected editions of Spenser's works commonly designated as the 1611 and 1617 folios ... 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 dates of the component parts"--Cf. Johnson
