Professor finds a 1634 printing of a Shakespeare play

A professor has found what’s believed to be the oldest copy of a Shakespeare work in Spain.

The 1634 printing of The Two Noble Kinsmen, which William Shakespeare co-wrote with John Fletcher, was discovered at the Real Colegio de Escoceses (Royal Scots College).

Dr. John Stone, who found the manuscript, told the BBC that during that era, English plays were associated with highbrow culture.
