False Folio is the term that Shakespeare scholars and bibliographers have applied to William Jaggard's printing of ten Shakespearean and pseudo-Shakespearean plays together in 1619, the first attempt to collect Shakespeare's work in a single volume. Publisher and bookseller Thomas Pavier is also implicated with 'printed for T.P.' appearing on the title pages.[1]
There are only two complete extant copies. One is part of the collection of the Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington, DC.[2] The other is held in the Special Collections[3] at Texas Christian University in Fort Worth, Texas.
