Titulus editionis quintae (1615)

Fons principalis historicus quo usus est Shakesperius fuit Raphaëlis Holinshed Chronica, cuius editio altera anno 1587 prodit.[1] Insuper perlegerat ut videtur Eduardi Hall Union of the Two Noble Families of Lancaster and York, a Ricardo Grafton auctam, annis 1548 et 1550 divulgatam;[2] etiam Samuelis Daniel carmen epicum de bellis civilibus Anglicis;[3] etiam fabulam paulo antea compositam, Thomas of Woodstock nuncupatam (nisi Shakesperius ipse cum aliis hanc fabulam confecisset).[4]
