Copynotes: Correspondence of 6/8/10: Please note that our edition is in a modern binding and is wanting the title page (although a facsimile of the 1611 title page has been placed there). Prosopopoia or Mother Hubberd’s Tale appears between Shepheardes Calender and Colin Clouts; and the Letter to Raleigh completes the volume without the dedicatory sonnets. The shelfmark of the book (as recorded in the 1972 printed catalogue of the Library) is T.5.31. -General Title page wanting. -1st pt. of FQ: I found no colophon but stanza 1 on page B3r: has “Yo~ug knight -2nd pt. of FQ: Title page gives 1613; colophon has 16012 -SC: 1611 -CCCHA: 1611 -Letter to Raleigh: First line of text of letter ends: “Alle-“. No dedicatory sonnets follow. -Prosopopoia: 1613. This work precedes Colin Clouts in our binding
Editionnotes: A third "reissue" of the 1609 edition, though both parts are now actually in later settings. Part 1 still has the 1611 cancel title page and conjugate dedication of the first reissue (STC 23083.3). The text of part 1 has now been reset (the 1615 date conjectured by STC); B3r stanza 1 begins "Young Knight". Part 2 still has separate title page dated 1612 or 1613 (stop-press variants) and R3r catchword reads "And". Pagination and register are continous. The last leaf is blank. Ideally issued with STC 23086.3, 23093.5, 23077.3, and 23087, though some copies have parts from the 1617 editions. Match subsidiary parts separately.
