The Works of William Shakespeare [Cambridge Edition] [Vol. 5 of 9]

by William Shakespeare

NOTE IV.

[III. 1.] As Sinklo is certainly the name of an Actor, who is mentioned in the stage directions in the Taming of the Shrew (Ind. I. 86), and in Henry IV. Pt. II. (Act IV. Sc. 4), there is great probability that Humfrey is the name of another Actor, perhaps, as Malone suggests, Humfrey Jeaffes. Neither of these is mentioned in the list of ‘Principal Actors’ prefixed to the first Folio.
