Catalogue of the Books Presented by Edward Capell to the Library of Trinity College in Cambridge
Shakespeare, William, 1564-1616 -- Bibliography -- Catalogs; Trinity College (University of Cambridge). Library -- Catalogs
Collation: A⁶, with engraved titlepage inserted after A 1, B-3G⁶
3H⁸3I², paged. Explanatory verses on verso of A 1. Engraved
titlepage signed Martin Dr[oeshout]. Epistle dedicatory to Anne of
Denmark signed by the translator, Iohn Florio (leaf signed A2).
Italian verses to the same signed ‘Il Candido’ (see Florio, ‘World
of Words’). Address to the reader signed by the translator.
Commendatory verses to Florio signed Sam. Daniel. Verses
‘Concerning the honour of bookes’. Table of contents. Author’s
address to the reader. Titlepage on A 6, _i.e._ the second half of
the sheet containing the verses preceding engraved title. Books ii
and iii have separate titlepages, the former with imprint ‘London,
Printed by Miles Flesher, 1631’, the latter ‘London, Printed in the
yeare MDCXXXI.’. At the end, alphabetical table of contents. In
the present copy sheet A is so arranged that the printed titlepage
immediately follows the engraved, an arrangement which may be
correct, but which necessitates binding the outer and two inner
sheets of the quire separately. The arrangement proposed above is
found in another copy in the Library (T. 11. 34).
