Note generali

Dedication signed: Robert Wilmot.

A verse adaptation of "Tancredi and Ghismunda" from: Boccaccio, Giovanni.  Decamerone.

In the original play act 1 was written by Rodger Stafford, act 2 by Henry Noel, act 3 by "G. Al." (possibly William Allen), act 4 by Sir Christopher Hatton, and act 5 by Wilmot. Wilmot revised the play, and probably re-cast it from the original decasyllabic rhyming quatrains into blank verse.

Signatures: *4 A-H⁴.

A variant of the 1591 edition.

Reproduction of the original in the Bodleian Library.

Some print show-through.
