The Anachronistic Shrews

(There is also a character named Soto in Middleton and Rowley's Spanish Gypsy, but this play is even later than Fletcher's and so presents the same complications in dating the Induction of The Shrew.) Few critics have been eager to pronounce the manuscript underlying The Taming of the Shrew a posthumous text. [...] a late Jacobean date for the printers' manuscript undermines claims that the Folio text precedes the 1594 quarto text.
