I got a couple requests to put my pictures from last night up on the blog, and I figured I’d share the non-collaged originals:
(Those of us trekking to the metro from the Hawk & Dove were at least pleased to pass by the scenic Capitol on our way!)
What an awesome hands-on visit to the Folger–thanks to all who played a role in organizing it!
Jim Kuhn has sent me some caption information:
1. Two 1611 Shakespeare “third quarto” editions of Hamlet:
· Bibliographic record describing STC 22277 Copy 1 and 2: http://shakespeare.folger.edu/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?BBID=163898.
· Full digital image sets for copy 1: http://luna.folger.edu/luna/servlet/s/c209o8 and for copy 2: http://luna.folger.edu/luna/servlet/s/1cs73e.
· We compared page C1r in both copies where a close eye would notice a stop-press correction in the next-to-last work in line two. Here’s a visual side-by-side collation of the two in our own digital image database: http://luna.folger.edu/luna/servlet/s/kt0612.
· And here’s the Shakespeare Quartos Archive TEI for copy 1: http://quartos.org/lib/XMLDoc/downloadXML.php?path=ham-1611-22277x-fol-c01.xml and for copy 2: http://quartos.org/lib/XMLDoc/downloadXML.php?path=ham-1611-22277x-fol-c02.xml.
2. Carter Hailey’s “Comet” collator:
· A bit about collating, and about the Comet and the Hinman collators can be found in the inaugural post of the Folger blog: http://collation.folger.edu/2011/08/welcome-to-the-collation/.
· Some may also be interested in Carter Hailey’s work (he’s the inventor of the Comet) on the paper used for printing Shakespeare’s quartos: http://www.folger.edu/documents/FolgerMagazineCarterHailey.pdf
3. The 39 articles, and their early published collation:
· Bib records for two 16c. editions of the Articles: http://shakespeare.folger.edu/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?BBID=171329 and http://shakespeare.folger.edu/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?BBID=168501.
· An accession record for the 1715 published collation by Thomas Bennet: http://shakespeare.folger.edu/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?BBID=182742
4. An early English printer’s manual, by Moxon:
· Bib record: http://shakespeare.folger.edu/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?BBID=137076
· Selected reproductions of plates from this copy: http://luna.folger.edu/luna/servlet/s/dqf6ya
· Other book history image sets can be found here: http://luna.folger.edu/luna/servlet/groups. Look for media groups whose names start with “book history.”
I don’t even know how I ended up here, but I thought this post was good.
Cheers!
