Excerpt from A New Variorum Edition of Shakespeare: The Tragedie of Julius Caesar The earliest text of Julius Caesar is that of the First Folio. It is markedly free from corruptions, and we may almost say that in but one or two instances would an earlier Quarto text be required to render any doubtful readings more sure.
