| 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 A-L6 M2 [paragraph]8.
Signatures Hh6, F4 and [paragraph]8 are blank, signatures [paragraph]8 are bound in different places in different copies.
The colophon on p. [364] is dated "16012" [sic].
The ESTC lists these items separately.
