Shakespeare (William) Titus Andronicus, or the Rape of Lavinia, edited by Edward Ravenscroft, final gathering trimmed at foot, just affecting signature, catchwords and 'Finis', lightly browned, modern calf, gilt, [Wing S2949], 4to, Printed by J.B. for J. Hindmarsh, 1687.

⁂ The first edition to be edited by Ravenscroft and the fourth quarto edition overall. Believed to be the first time that doubt was cast on Shakespeare's authorship of this play, in his prefatory note, Ravenscroft states: "I should acquaint you that there is a Play in Mr. Shakespears Volume under the name of Titus Andronicus, from whence I drew part of this. I have been told by some anciently conversant with the Stage, that it was not Originally his, but brought by a private Author to be Acted, and he only gave some Master-touches to one or two of the Principal Parts or Characters; this I am apt to believe, because 'tis the most incorrect and indigested piece in all his Works; It seems rather a heap of Rubbish then a Structure..."
