Copynotes: In their online catalog, KU classifies D672 as a copy of the 1617 Works. However, only two of the 7 constituent parts of the 1617 Works are present, so we have chosen not to classify it as a 1617 Works at all. "This edition that KU has does not include The Faerie Queene, Visions of the Worlds Vanitie, The Visions of Bellay and The Visions of Petrarch. It is not bound together. The parts that KU has have been rebound separately into 8 volumes." "Unfortunately, we cannot determine if the 1617 edition was ever complete or if the pieces that we have now were ever bound (the card catalogue indicates that the pieces are part of a whole, but this may very well be an assumption). However, we can determine that these 8 volumes were together in some capacity, either bound or unbound, because of a child's scribbles in two of the volumes which are very similar. The volumes are part of KU's P.S. O'Hegarty Collection, which means that the volumes were most likely obtained in Dublin" (Correspondence of Dr. Ingrid Horton, 7/15/10).
