Four undated editions of Julius Caesar were issued in quarto format sometime during the late 17th or early 18th centuries. The precise date of printing for these four editions has been the subject of debate. The edition described herein displays the typographical peculiarities that Bartlett & Pollard ascribe to the first of the four quartos, all of which are said to date between 1684 and 1691. John W. Velz argues that the first three undated quartos were actually printed between 1695 and 1700. ESTC, STC (2nd ed.), and Wing date them to ca. 1695. Many standard bibliographic resources, including several mentioned above, are inconsistent in their descriptions of the peculiarities typically relied upon to distinguish each of the editions. In order to avoid ambiguity, customary citation to specific entries within those resources has therefore been omitted. See J.W. Velz, "Pirate Hills and the quartos of Julius Caesar," PBSA 63 (1969): 177-193.
