Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Tragical Reign of Selimus, Sometime Emperor of the Turks: A Play Reclaimed for Robert Greene
I was the first to reclaim it for Robert Greene. Our text was necessarily the original of 1594, from a fine exemplar lent me by the late Duke of Devonshire (kimble Plays, vol. I. Only other three copies appear to be known - two of them in the Dyce Library, South Kensington, and the third in the Bodleian. By the kindness of the present Duke of Devonshire - though the collection has been removed to Chatsworth - I have been enabled careqy to collate my former reproduction - not without advantage, as must be noted in two places.l The quarto of 1594 has too many misprints, but on the whole has the neatness and general accuracy of the books of the original publisher, Thomas Creede.
