No problem reading that copy. Why didn’t you post his supposed original handwriting? Would have at least been sort of a challenge


Why would I do that? The folios were printed. I'd love to own a real
example of something in Shakespeare's own hand, but these are extremely
rare. There are copies of some of the handwritten documents on-line,
though.

I do have a "musick book" from the late 17th Century, but it also was
professionally printed. Last time I checked, it was fairly valuable.
