Dublin Core

Title

Faerie Queene, Title page

Description

Columbia's copy of the 1609 Faerie Queene lacks the title page and dedicatory epistle. One of the book's owners thus removed the title page preceding books 4-6, inserted it at the beginning of the book, and altered it to read "The First Part of the Faerie Queene: Containing the first, second, & third books." Note that several words are pasted in: "First" preceding part as well as "first, second, and third."
