Crowdfunding</funder>
<funder>The second phase of the Bodleian First Folio project was made possible by a lead gift from Dr Geoffrey Eibl-Kaye and generous support from the Sallie Dickson Memorial Fund/Dallas Shakespeare Club Fund, Mr James Barber, and a private individual. The Bodleian Libraries are very grateful for this additional support, which brings new features to the digitized First Folio, enabling more efficient and intuitive use for all with an interest in Shakespeare, early modern drama, theatre and book history.</funder>

<decoNote>With an engraved title-page portrait of the author signed: "Martin-
Droeshout: sculpsit· London.". The plate exists in 2 states: 1. The earlier
state has lighter shading generall ; 2. Later state has heavier shading,
especially around the collar, and minor differences particularly with the
jawline and moustache. The vast majority of surviving copies have the plate
in the second state which has led some scholars to conclude that the earlier
state was a proof. The portrait in this copy is the second state.

<additions>
<p>Two MS verses on first endpaper verso: 1. 9 lines of verse by an
unknown author, first line reads "An active swain to make a leap was seen".
2. A copy of Ben Jonson’s printed "To the Reader"; MS note on t.p.
(mutilated) appears to read "Honest [Shakes]peare". Minor annotations on
leaf 2n4 (Macbeth). All in an early English hand, presumably added after
leaving the Library.</p>

<p>Acquired by the Bodleian in 1623, presumably in sheets. It
was sent out to <persName>William Wildgoose</persName> on <date when="1624-02-17">17 February 1624</date> for binding (see: Library
Records e.258, fol. 48r) and upon its return chained in Duke Humfrey at
shelfmark S 2.17 Art. It is listed in the Bodleian’s <date when="1635">1635</date> catalogue of printed books but was gone by the publication
of the next catalogue in <date when="1674">1674</date>, replaced by the
newer <bibl>
<title>Third Folio</title> (<date when="1664">1664</date>)</bibl>. There is no explicit reference in Library Records
to the disposal of this copy, but there is a record of a sale of
"superfluous library books" to <persName>Richard Davis</persName>, a
bookseller in Oxford, in <date when="1664">1664</date> for the sum of <num value="24">£24</num>.</p>
<p>After leaving the Bodleian this copy entered
the collection of <persName>Richard Turbutt</persName> of Ogston Hall,
Derbyshire at some point in the early 18th century. It stayed in the
family’s possession until <date when="1906">1906</date>, when it was
reacquired by the Bodleian for the sum of <num value="3000">£3000</num>,
raised by public subscription. For a full discussion of the rediscovery and
purchase of this copy see: F. Madan, G. M. R. Turbutt and S. Gibson, The
Original Bodleian Copy of the First Folio of Shakespeare (theTurbutt
Shakespeare) (Oxford, 1905)</p>
