Folger-specific note
For Folger copy 28, the issue is indeterminate, as formulated by William B. Todd, "Issues and states of the Second Folio and Milton's epitaph on Shakespeare," Studies in bibliography, v. 5 (1952-53), p. 81-108. Wants both [superscript pi]A2 (title leaf) and [superscript pi]A5 ("Effigies" leaf).
Wants also all other prelims., [superscript pi]A1,3,4,6 and *⁴.
Wants port. (on title page).
Also wants A1-D1 (Temp. and Two Gent.) and 3d1.4 (including the colophon).
Supplied from another copy are: s3 (perhaps) and 3c5,6.
Imperfections affect text very slightly on T2, o5, and 2v3.
Annotated extensively (especially Macb.), in an 18th-cent. hand, with scholarly notes (some cropped or shaved), including attribution of the source of most of the plays. Also annotated passim in a 19th-cent. hand.
