- # No. XXIX. Edinburgh University copy.
## Overview
This section, titled "No. XXIX. Edinburgh University copy.", is a textual description of a specific copy of a publication, likely a book or pamphlet. It is part of Chapter III of a larger work and was extracted from the file `pdf-01KG6Q7Q25RHMFT3SJXPV18VFF.txt`. The section details the physical characteristics, condition, and provenance of the Edinburgh University Library's copy.
## Context
This section is located within Chapter III, which is part of the collection "[Venus and Adonis, Lucrece, Sonnets, and Pericles (Facsimile Editions)](arke:01KG6S3KNZT62WVVW4VT384KPF)". The chapter itself is part of a larger collection titled "PDF Workflow Main Test 2026-01-30T00:26:53". This specific section follows "No. XXVIII. Untraced copy." and precedes "No. XXX. Mr. Perry's copy.". The text notes that a defective copy of the publication, consisting of twenty-seven out of thirty leaves, is held by the Edinburgh University Library. It also mentions that this copy was presented to the library in 1872 by J. O. Halliwell-Phillipps.
## Contents
The section describes a defective copy of a publication, noting its dimensions ($5\frac{1}{2}'' \times 3\frac{2}{16}''$), the absence of a title page, and the missing leaves C and C₂ (lines 764–903). It states that the bottom edges are closely shaved and that the copy was bound by 1632. The text also includes a footnote crediting Dr. Eggeling and Mr. Alex. Anderson of Edinburgh University for providing the opportunity to determine the date of this copy. Furthermore, it discusses Halliwell-Phillipps's initial dating of the copy before 1616, his tentative assignment to 1610, and his final, correct assessment that it was issued in 1632. An image, `img-0.jpeg`, is referenced within this section.
