| Copynotes: | MS. notes and markings (fists, etc.) of Sir Brook Bridges throughout; MS. epitaph for the author ("Writ under his Tomb / Such is the Tomb the noble Essex gave/ How e're ill-treated in his life he were/ His sacred Bones rest honourably here.") on t.p. verso; quotation from Ovid on F1v; "How True!" on F5r; final blank with MS. biographical notes: "Some Accou[n]t of the Authour’s Life."("a careful comparison with the Life printed in 1679 discloses that it is not a transcript, prbably the original, but if not both are derived from the same source--") Bound in extra-gilt green goatskin by Lloyd, Wallis & Lloyd; all edges gilt; bound at end are these other works of Spenser: A letter of the authors ([London, 1611]; STC 23086.3); The shepheards calendar (London, 1611; STC 23093.5); Prosopopoia. Or Mother Hubberds tale (London, 1612; STC 23087); Colin Clouts come home againe [and other minor works] (London, [1611]; STC 23077.3).

| 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.
