Notes
Descriptions of the printing of the folio are R. K. Turner, "The Beaumont and Fletcher Folio of 1647," in The Dramatic Works in the Beaumont and Fletcher Canon, ed. Fredson Bowers, I (1966), xxvii-xxxv; W. W. Greg, "The Printing of the Beaumont and Fletcher Folio of 1647," The Library, 4th ser., II (1921-22), 109-115; R. C. Bald, Bibliographical Studies in the Beaumont & Fletcher Folio of 1647 (1938); the Carl H. Pforzheimer Library's Catalogue of English Books and Manuscripts 1475-1700 (1940); Johan Gerritsen, "The Printing of the Beaumont and Fletcher Folio of 1647," The Library, 5th ser., III (1949), 233-264; and W. W. Greg, A Bibliography of the English Printed Drama to the Restoration, III (1957), 1013-1018 (which takes account of the unpublished investigations of Allan H. Stevenson).
Moxon makes allowance for a delayed distribution of wrought-off pages in his section on "Papering up of Pages," (Mechanick Exercises, ed. Davis and Carter [London, 1958], pp. 244-246). When a compositor was called to another job requiring a different font, he could tie up the rinsed pages and put them aside for a later distribution. It is possible that C1v-2, C2va, and C3v-4 were so treated, though the papering up of one column, C2va, when column b had been used to set a page in Quire C, makes it improbable.
