| Copynotes: | Fisher stc copies 1-2: Copies of the first folio editions of Spenser's Works vary, in part, because the publisher of Spenser's different works, Mathew Lownes, mixed leftover old stock with new stock, and because he reissued new issues with original imprints. As such, copies of The Faerie Queene dated 1609 are sometimes 1609 printings and sometimes not. Copy 1 has a 1609 t.p. for part one and two, but carries features unique to the 1611 reissue of the work; Copy 2 has a 1613 t.p. for part two, but retains the 1609 titlepage for part one.
Fisher stc copy 2: Possibly a mix of STC 23083 and 23083.7. Part one has the 1609 t.p., stanza 1 beginning "Young knight" and R3r catchword as "And"; Part Two has t.p. dated 1613 as described in STC 23083.7. Colophon dated 16012 [i.e. 1612]. Page 8 numbered 10. Final blank wanting. Stub from cancel present before part two t.p.
