Irving's Othello study book for Othello and Iago which he alternated with Edwin Booth in 1881 at the Lyceum when Ellen Terry played Desdemona,is listed in Shattuck's Shakespeare Prompt scripts (1965) The script is held in Harvard Theatre Collection. The text was published for HI by Clarendon Press. There are three copies with ET's notes at the Ellen Terry Museum, Smallhythe UK. All Temple Edition 1897. Nothing found on the 1876 revival with Isabel Bateman. There could be others that Shattuck overlooked. No record of an HI Shakespeare in 1883 unless connected with the USA which he first visited that year. The Henry Irving Shakespeare (8 volumes) edited by Frank Marshall was published in 1892.
