Item appears in the following exhibition pageThe Reading of Books and the Reading of Literature : Forming the English Canon: Faerie Queene Item Information Dublin CoreTitleFaerie Queene, Title page
DescriptionColumbia'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."
