The Tragical Reign of Selimus, 1594. E-book. Formato PDF ebook di Robert Greene

No entry of Selimar has been found on the Stationers' Registers. The play was printed in quarto by Thomas Creede with the date 1594, and this is the only edition known. It is described on the title-page as The First part of the Tragicall raigne of Selimus,' and the epilogue promises a continuation, but there is no evidence that any such second part was ever written. In 1 638 the unsold stock was issued by John Crooke and Richard Serger, with a new title-page as The Tragedy of Selimus Emperour of the Turkes. Written [by] T. G.' These initials are supposed to refer to Thomas Goffe, whose Turkish tragedies were then fairly recent. The prologue, which occupied the verso of the cancelled title-page, was not reprinted.
