A rare copy of William Shakespeare’s First Folio dating from 1623 has been discovered in Saint-Omer library in France. It is believed to be one of just 230 in existence.
The work was missing several pages, including the title page, and had been catalogued as a later work.
The library at Saint-Omer holds many other treasures, including one of only 48 copies of the 15th century Gutenberg Bibles.
The newly discovered Shakespeare First Foloio will be digitised.
