Wonderful detective work, Laura! Thank you for that effort. That will go a long way to making sure we get these properly annotated. On Mon, Aug 18, 2025 at 4:15 AM Laura N <lnatal55@gmail.com> wrote:

It seems that the matching editions were taken from here:

Much Ado about Nothing <https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=nyp.33433074894951&seq=11>

Twelfth Night; Or, What You Will <https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=nyp.33433074894969&seq=9>

They correspond to The works of Shakespear, from Mr. Pope's edition ... published in 1768.

There are two duplicate plays here:

https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/1527

and

https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/1519

https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/1520

I’m trying to confirm that the lower-numbered version of each of these are actually the text from the First Folio. Can anyone take a look and verify that idea?
