Samuel Daniel\u2019s The First Four Books of the Civil Wars<\/i>, published in 1595, is an important source for the play. Its Epilogue suggest it was written soon after Henry IV, Part 1<\/i>, and no later than 1598, since Ben Jonson refers to the character Justice Shallow in his own 1599 play, Every Man Out of His Humour<\/i>.<\/span><\/p>The play was first printed as a quarto in 1600, probably typeset from Shakespeare\u2019s draft manuscripts, or a transcript of them. It was not printed again until the First Folio, which contains eight passages that are not in the quarto. Numerous other differences suggest that a manuscript source could have been used alongside the quarto when the First Folio version was being prepared.\u2028<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
