From The Quarto Of 1616.
Edited By The Rev. Alexander Dyce.
Comments on the preparation of the E-Text:
SQUARE BRACKETS:
The square brackets, i.e. are copied from the printed book,
without change, except that the stage directions usually do not
have closing brackets. These have been added.
FOOTNOTES:
For this E-Text version of the book, the footnotes have been
consolidated at the end of the play.
Numbering of the footnotes has been changed, and each footnote
is given a unique identity.
CHANGES TO THE TEXT:
Character names were expanded. For Example, FAUSTUS was FAUST;
SECOND SCHOLAR was SEC. SCHOL.
OTHER COMMENTS:
This E-Text of _Doctor Faustus_ is taken from a volume of
_The Works of Christopher Marlowe_. That volume also contains
an earlier version of the play, based on the text of 1604,
which is available as an E-Text. Some of the notes to the
earlier version are applicable to, and help explain, this
version.
