Actually the Folio seems to be full of mistakes. Which is ok if you

recognize them, but if you don't .....

 

I've discovered a few, while I've had the written word before me and checked

something on folio, and on folio it has been completely different. A lot of

things are also simply missing.

 

The 'creative theories' theory has always been a problem, hasn't it? I think

the folio is the "tool de jour" for those interested in taking that

path...
