1616 Folio

Topic: 1616 Folio

1. Verified Sourced Facts

• The preserved Neville Research wiki page for 1616 Folio is a stub source-map page rather than a developed argument page.

• That page points to two external source paths:
• an Archive.org witness for Jonson's 1616 folio and the epigram to Henry Neville
• an Archive.org witness for later commentary on the epigram

• The direct Jonson epigram witness has already been isolated elsewhere in the corpus:
• ben_jonson.md

• A 2026-04-21 web audit identified the Cambridge Works of Ben Jonson as the best modern scholarly control for this source-map packet. Its Epigrams interface exposes the 1616 Epigrams text, notes, 1616 folio view, manuscript collation, and Folio image options. Its life essay also confirms that Jonson's Works was published by William Stansby in November 1616 and that Jonson treated the Epigrams as an important part of the collection.

• The packet should therefore be treated as a three-layer source map:
• primary visual witness: Archive.org / page image of Jonson's 1616 folio
• modern scholarly control: Cambridge Works of Ben Jonson
• local interpretive trail: Neville Research wiki and related topic packets

5. Notes on Access

• This is a source-map packet, not a standalone evidence packet.
• Its current value is to preserve the site-level route from the Neville Research wiki to the Jonson 1616 folio witnesses.
• The Cambridge Works of Ben Jonson source is useful as a scholarly control, but the terminal-accessible page did not expose the full Neville epigram text cleanly. For direct quotation, continue to prefer the Archive.org folio page image or the existing local witness in ben_jonson.md.
