It is generally known as The First Folio, rather than the name on its title page: "Mr William Shakespeares Comedies, Histories & Tragedies Published According to the True Originall Copies." You can see why.
1623
The First Folio was the first Collected Works edition of Shakespeare's plays; it was the work of his fellow actors John Heminges and Henry Condell, and came out in 1623, some seven years after Shakespeare's death. However, many of the plays had been published earlier. A "first edition" of Romeo and Juliet would be dated 1597.
The First Folio was not actually the Collected Works of Shakespeare because it contained only the plays. A modern edition of the Collected Works would also contain the poetry.
Collected has two meanings. The first is relating to a person not being distracted or perturbed. The second is relating to individual works being brought together into one volume or edition.
A writer's collected works are often called a "bibliography" or a "collected works".
Some of Shakespeare's plays had been published individually during his lifetime but in 1623 two of his friends decided to publish a collection of as many of his plays as they could get their hands on. This collection is usually called the First Folio but its real title is "Mr. William Shakespeares Comedies, Histories & Tragedies Published according to the True Originall Copies"

There are 36 known plays attributed to William Shakespeare that were published in the First Folio in 1623, which is the first collected edition of his works. This edition includes 18 plays that had never been published before. Additionally, several of Shakespeare's plays were published individually in quarto editions during his lifetime, but the First Folio remains the most significant compilation of his works. Overall, the exact number of folios can vary based on the definition, but the First Folio is the most recognized collection.
