The Folger holds around 160 quartos of Shakespeare's works that are considered canonical, and another 23 quartos of works that are debated. This only considers quartos that were published before 1641. Grateful thanks goes to Dr. Moira Guff, of the British Library, for the research and compilation of statistics.


Pre-1641 Quarto Editions of Shakespeare recorded in the English Short-Title Catalogue, as of October 2007.
