The First Folio of 1647

The first Beaumont and Fletcher folio was published in London in 1647 by Humphrey Moseley. The publication only contained thirty-five plays as it excluded those plays which had previously seen publication in quarto editions, with the exception of The Mask of the Inner Temple. An additional eighteen plays were added in the second folio of 1679.
