Subject:        1H4 Actor's Part MS Online

A very handsome comprehensive web checklist of many of the 13,010 MSS in
the private Schøyen Collection (Oslo and London) reproduces "the only
extant contemporary literary parallel or Actor's part in manuscript of
any of Shakespeare's plays," specifically for 1 Henry 4, 2.1 & 3.  The
single folio MS, 1627, written in secretary hand before 1600, is one of
the endleaves of a 1586 edition of the Odyssey.  Worth a look at
