This entry in the series includes Act V of The Merry wives of Windsor and Acts I through V of The Comedy of Errors, plus Knight's commentary on those; in their editorial tradition of including elements from several plays in each installment - presumably to encourage ongoing and encompassing attention from the subscribers - Virtue & Yorston here includes a depiction from As You Like It, specifically "Orlando and the Wrestler" (see scan), executed by D. MacLise, R.A. Pinxt. (Artist) and C.W. Sharpe, Sculpt. (Engraver).

Despite the numbering of the volumes of this series, it seems that the copies vary in content, they were supposedly custom made for subscribers, thus the dates of the plays the volume contains do not always correspond to the date on the title page. I give the most probable dates of each title according to the NKC - Electronic Catalogue of the National Library of the Czech Republic, however, what we find in the book might be a later issue of the indicated edition. 1. Zkrocení zlé eny (The Taming of the Shrew): This is the first Czech translation of the play. Published first in this series in 1872. Other sources claim that the first edition is dated 1866 (the year of the theatrical premiere and which corresponds with the date of the title page of the volume), however, I could find copies but the date of 1872. 2. Veselé eny Windsorské (The Merry Wives of Windsor): This is the first Czech translation of the play. Published first in this series in 1856. 3. Dvé lechtic? Veronských (The Two Gentlemen of Verona): 2. Dvé lechtic? Veronských (The Two Gentlemen of Verona): This is the first Czech translation of the play. Published first in this series in 1869. 4. Konec ve napraví (All's Well That Ends Well): This is the first Czech translation of the play. Published first in this series in 1869. 5. Komédie plná omyl? (The Comedy of Errors): The Comedy of Errors was the first Shakespeare drama to be translated into Czech. The translator was Antonín Marek and Omylowé, his translation in prose, was published in 1823 (Prague, Wdowa Josefa Fetterlowá z Wildenbrunnu). The present text is the first poetic translation into Czech. Published first in this series in 1864. 6. Mnoho povyku pro nic za nic (Much Ado About Nothing): This is the second edition of the first translation of the play into Czech which appeared in the series first in 1864. The translator was Jakub Malý. The first edition was published in 1859 (Prague:Matice ?eská). . Occasional foxing. Overall in fine condition.

The second Shakespeare work, translated directly from English, to be published in Turkish. Translated by Örikagasizade Hasan Sirri (18611939) from the original English text instead of French adaptations, The Comedy of Errors is the second adequate Turkish translation of Shakespeare, preceded only by the 1884 translation of The Merchant of Venice, also by Sirri. One of the first translations of any English literature into Turkish. Kitabhane-i Ebüzziya was a series launched by the Turkish publisher Ebüzziya Mehmet Tevfik Bey (18491913) in order to present classical and contemporary literature to a wider audience. Shakespeare's work is the second one in our volume which includes twelve writings by the Ottoman playwright and intellectual Namik Kemal (18401888) the Greek-Ottoman statesman, diplomat and author Achmet Resmi Efendi (17001783) among others.

In Ottoman script (Old Turkish with Arabic letters). 119 p. Hegira: 1304 = Gregorian: 1887. Extremely rare first Turkish edition of the comedy of errors by Shakespeare in book form. Since the middle of the 19th-century, Turkish literature has appealed to foreign sources, especially European and Anglo American culture, in order to meet modern Turkey's demands. Shakespeare played a significant role in inspiring and shaping modern Turkish theatre. Shakespearean plays made their official entrance into Turkey during the reform movement of Tanzimat (1839-76) that warmly welcomed translating works from other cultures. European, Greek and Armenian troupes of the Ottoman Empire, as well as travelling Italian troupes, were the pioneers of producing plays from other cultures, yet in their own languages. The Merchant of Venice (1885) and The Comedy of Errors (1886-7) were the earliest translations into Turkey by Hasan Sirri, which had the chance to be published in book form. First translations of Shakespeare's plays were made from French copies. However, Sehv-i mudhik (The Comedy of Errors) was one of the earliest translations directly from English language. The translator of this book, Örikagasizâde Hasan Sirri, (1861-1939) was an administrator and educator who grew up during the reign of Abdulhamid II and was in state service for almost forty years. He was the son of Turkish diwan poet Ahmet Nafiz Pasha and the father of author Nahid Sirri Örik. The Comedy of Errors which he translated by easing or removing prejudiced sentences and words about Turks, Islam and Jews, is of importance in terms of his clear Turkish and careful attention to detail. The Comedy of Errors was the second play of Shakespeare translated, and is one of William Shakespeare's early plays. It is his shortest and one of his most farcical comedies, with a major part of the humor coming from slapstick and mistaken identity, in addition to puns and wordplay. The Comedy of Errors is, along with The Tempest, one of only two Shakespearean plays to observe the Aristotelian principle of unity of time, through which the events of a play should cover a period of 24 hours. It has been adapted for opera, stage, screen and musical theatre numerous times worldwide. In the centuries following its premiere, the play's title has entered the popular English lexicon as an idiom for "an event or series of events made ridiculous by the number of errors that were made throughout". Özege 17696.; Only one copy in OCLC: 978068535.

The first volume of the first edition of Shakespeare's works to appear after the four Folio Editions of the seventeenth century and the very first illustrated edition (lacking 5 of 9 original plates) which has been described by a recent scholar as an 'inaugurating moment'. The publisher Jacob Tonson and the book's editor Nicholas Rowe achieve their preeminence among Shakespeare printers and editors through a series of innovations: here we learn for the first time where scenes from the dramas actually take place - Lear's Heath is named, for example. The text gives characters the names we know them by, such as Puck, and divides acts and scenes, as well a using modern punctuation and making hundreds of emendations to the text. PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Lacking original boards. Remnants of spine panel reveal gatherings beneath top and tail. Text block edges soiled. General title page nicked and scuffed along fore edge with slight loss to top right corner. Preliminaries age spotted. Text clean and unmarked although corners bumped and age toned. Lightly spotted to gutters in part. Collates [xii], xl, pp 1-462. 4. Lacking pp. 463, 464 and 5 of the original engravings. Remaining engravings in good condition include those placed before each of the plays: The Two Gentlemen of Verona, The Comedy of Errors (clean tear parallel to spine to top half), Much Ado About Nothing and Loves Labour Lost.
