Early Texts of Henry IV, Part 1

Henry IV, Part 1 was entered in the Stationers' Register Februart 25, 1598 (NS):

Andrew Wise.] A booke entitled the Historye of Henry the Fourth, with his Battaile at Shrewsburye against Henry Hottspurre of the Northe with the conceipted Mirth of Sir John Falstalffe

The first quarto was not actually the first quarto.  There survives an 8-page fragment (quire C) of the play designated Q0, without date, upon which Q1 is based.  Q1 is dated 1598 and appeared with the following title:

The history of Henrie the Fourth; with the battell at Shrewsburie, betweene the King and Lord Henry Percy, surnamed Henrie Hotspur of the north. With the humorous conceits of Sir Iohn Falstalffe [sic].
At London: printed by P. S. [Peter Short] for Andrew Wise, dwelling in Paules Churchyard, at the signe of the Angell, 1598.

Q1 was reprinted in 1599 and designated "Newly corrected by W. Shake-speare.
", but there are only very small differences between Q1 and Q2.  Other quartos appeared in 1604, 1608, 1613, and 1622, testifying to the popularity of the play.  The text of the First Folio (F1) is set from Q5 (1613) with the oaths removed.

The play was probably written at the end of 1596 or very early 1597.  It is most likely that Henry IV, Part 1 was composed without reference to a part 2, and that part 2 was written to build on the success of part 1.
