Folger-specific note
1677096. Variant. Evidence of ties. In this copy, sheet A (i.e. A⁶ and R²) was wrongly imposed so that A5r and A6v were perfected on pages of "R" and vice versa (the error was corrected by pasting leaves from another copy of the sheet over the wrongly imposed pages). Sheet I also wrongly imposed (correct pages pasted on I5v,6r,7v,8r). Some leaves mutilated and backed, affecting text. Provenance: autograph of Hubert Norman, 1930
