title: Richard the Second
variant_description: Leaf A2 exists in two states: the original pages in Greg 141h(*) were reset in Greg 141h(†), which contain a somewhat narrower measure. In the process, the decorated woodcut initial in 141h(*) was replaced with an ordinary type-metal capital, one line of text was moved from A2r to A2v, and the half-title was relineated from "Death of / King" to "Death / of King".
