Shakespeare, William, 1564-1616 -- Bibliography -- Catalogs; Trinity College (University of Cambridge). Library -- Catalogs
Collation: [mc]⁴A-3H⁴, paged. Wanting V 4, supplied in MS. The
epistle dedicatory to Henrietta Maria is signed M. C. M. E. (_i.e._
Magister Cresacre More Eboracensis?). The initials on the titlepage
refer to ‘Mr. Thomas More’, the great-grandson of Sir Thomas, but it
is more probably the work of his younger brother Cresacre. The book
was probably printed at Louvain in 1631. On the titlepage some
biographical details concerning Thomas More are entered in an old
hand.
