 Quarto (board game) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Quarto is a board game for two players invented by Blaise Müller.
A player wins by placing their piece to make four pieces in a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal row, all of which have a common attribute (all small, all circular, etc).
Quarto is distinctive in that there is only one set of common pieces, rather than a set for one player and a different set for the other.

 The History of Quarto
Quarto is a forum for new writers to show their work.
Quarto is the first student-run literary magazine at Columbia, and one of the oldest in the country.
"Quarto not only provides writing students with the opportunity to publish, but it also serves as a laboratory for students to learn the art and craft of editing under the collegial guidance of their dedicated instructor, Professor Leslie Sharpe," says Alan Ziegler, director of the undergraduate writing program.

 [EMLS 1.2 (August 1995): 2.1-54] The Texts of Troilus and Cressida
In fact, no quartos of plays annotated for use as printer's copy have been found, nor is there any external evidence for a collator/annotator or for such an annotated quarto.
In 1965, Nosworthy argued that Alexander's "one who could interpret his intentions" was Ben Jonson (70-71), and that "the transcript underlying the Quarto was, in a small measure, a revision of Shakespeare's original," a revision carried out by the transcriber, whoever he (or she) might be (71).
I am assuming that Foakes is actually distinguishing between the marked Quarto and the manuscript, though he may be referring to the hypothetical manuscript annotations in the Quarto; in any case, he does not describe how he envisions these two texts being used by the working compositors.

There are 2,000 verbal differences between the text of the first quarto (1597) and the version in the First Folio (1623).
Although the narrative of the two plays is virtually identical, each has lines which are not found in the other, parts of the play are arranged differently, and the quarto deploys fewer characters.
The text of the quarto is accompanied by a collation of variant readings and substantial textual notes.

 Hamlet: The First Quarto   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
It's credited to William Shake-Speare, and dated 1603, 20 years prior to the publishing of the First Folio, that scholars are no nearer to deciding its origin than were the avid readers of manuscripts that had just been produced on the stage.
It may be that, like novelizations of screenplays that appear on the bookshelves at almost the same time as the film appears in theatres, the relationships of the quartos to the play were minimal.
The first quarto may have been a bootleg version of Hamlet, rushed into quick print to make a fast ducat for an entrepreneurial actor manager, or even a cribbed copy of the play duly recorded and then printed out by an assiduous audience member who was investing in Shakespeare futures.

Likewise, until more cards are placed, you won't be sure that the first card played is an outside row/column, or an inside piece.

These variations show that Eld took seriously the need to produce a book that was both accurate--his pressmen stopped the printing of sheets on formes in order to change the type used to set certain pages--and visually attractive.
This edition makes available as much of the basic technical information as we can put in machine-readable form in the hope that future researchers will be able to discover more about this remarkable book.
Hardy M. Cook is mainly responsible for the transcription and for the sections on the quarto and on the reception of the sonnets.

 The First Quarto of Othello
By taking this earliest published version of Othello as a book in its own right, Scott McMillin accounts for the mystery of its thousands of differences from the Folio version by arguing that the quarto was printed from a theatre script reflecting cuts and actors' interpolations made in the playhouse.
McMillin explains that the playhouse script was apparently taken from dictation by a scribe listening to the actors themselves, and thus reveals how Othello was spoken in seventeenth-century performance.
This edition, which consists of a detailed introduction, quarto text, select collation and textual notes, is an important book for scholars in Shakespeare and Elizabethan-Jacobean drama, with wide ramifications for other Shakespeare textual studies and for students of early theatre history.

These quartos were found wrapped up in brown paper and stashed behind some bookshelves.

The implications of these quartos on Bacon's property are enormous.

 The Quarto (Introduction to SHAKE-SPEARES SONNETS 1609)
The 1609 quarto entitled Shake­speares Sonnets was published by Thomas Thorpe, printed by George Eld, and sold by William Aspley and William Wright.
The ensuing quarto of Shake­speares Sonnets is the only complete edition of the sonnets and of A Lovers Complaint published in the author's lifetime.
Duncan­Jones argues "for the substantial integrity of the 1609 Quarto" first on the grounds of "Thorpe's practice and associations as a publisher" and second on structural grounds--"Within the 1609 text many elements of thematic and structural coherence are to be found which commentators have failed to recognize" (154­55).
