Présentation de l'éditeur
The First Part of King Henry IV, was entered in theS tationers Register by Andrew Wise, on the 25th ofF ebruary, 1598 (new style), as A booke entitled the Historye of Henry the iiijth, with his battaile atS hrewsburye against Henry Hottspurre of the Korthe, with the conceipted mirthe of Sir John Falstoff. Of this there were as many as six editions (1598, 1599, 1604, 1608, 1613, 1622) before the publication of the first Folio in 1623. After 1623 there were two more quarto editions those of 1632 and 1639. No other play of Shakespeare sexcept Richard III, was, within that period, so frequently reprinted. Shakespeare sT rilogy, of the two parts of King Henry IV, and King Henry F., was developed from a single old play, rude in form, of which the first known edition was printed in the same year with the first edition of the first part of Shakespeare sK ing Henry IV. It was entitled The Famous Yictories of Henry the Fifth: Containing the Honourable Battell of A gin-court: As it was plaide by the Queenes Maiesties Players, and was printed by Thomas Oreede, to whom the book, published in 1598, had been entered atS tationers Hall on the 14th of May, 1594. Yery probably it was first published in that jrear.
