TAMBURLAINE THE GREAT,
IN TWO PARTS.
This is Part I.
By Christopher Marlowe
Edited By The Rev. Alexander Dyce.
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 in the form [XXX].
CHANGES TO THE TEXT:
Character names were expanded. For Example, TAMBURLAINE was TAMB., ZENOCRATE was ZENO., etc.
GREEK: One word, appearing in note 115, was printed in Greek Characters. This word has been transliterated as [deiktikos].

In the Bodleian Library, Oxford, is an 8vo edition of both PARTS OF TAMBURLAINE, dated 1590: the title-page of THE FIRST PART agrees verbatim with that given above; the half-title-page of THE SECOND PART is as follows;
Tamburlaine. With his impassionate fury, for the death
of his Lady and loue faire Zenocrate; his fourme of
exhortacion and discipline to his three sons, and the
maner of his own death.
In the Garrick Collection, British Museum, is an 8vo edition of both PARTS dated 1592: the title-page of THE FIRST PART runs thus;
