Shakespeare's first folio of his plays was not published in 1565 since he was only one year old at the time. It was actually published in 1623, some seven years after his death.
1623
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"
Mr. William Shakespeares Comedies, Histories, & Tragedies, often called The First Folio, contained 36 plays.
Shakespeare's first published work was Venus and Adonis in 1593. His other long poem The Rape of Lucrece was published the next year. About half of the plays were published individually over the years. In 1609 the Sonnets were published. In 1623 the First Folio, the first collection of Shakespeare's plays, was first published. Many of his plays were published for the first time at that time.
The First Folio, a collection of Shakespeare's plays, was first published in 1623.
By "Shakespeare's first edition" I assume you mean the First Folio, the first compilation of his plays. About half of the plays in the First Folio had been previously published, some several times. As well, the collection of his sonnets was also published during his lifetime. The First Folio, compiled by his friends Heminges and Condell, was published in 1623, seven years after his death, and contained 36 plays of the 38 generally accepted to be his. (The two plays missing from the collection are Pericles Prince of Tyre and The Two Noble Kinsmen.)
