Four undated editions of Julius Caesar were issued in quarto format sometime during the late 17th or early 18th centuries. The precise date of printing for these four editions has been the subject of much scholarly debate. This edition displays the typographical peculiarities which Bartlett & Pollard ascribe to the second of the four undated quartos. John W. Velz argues that the first three undated quartos were printed between 1695 and 1700. ESTC, STC (2nd ed.), and Wing date them to ca. 1695.

In this edition there is a period after "Cæsar" in line 1 of title; the penultimate line of text on F2r ends "wander forth of doors, ", and p. 46-47 are misnumbered 47-46.
