General Notes

Catchwords: A4v: del ; B4v: de ; C4v: os.
This edition has pattern of asterisks dividing the columns of dramatis personae and six-pointed stars flanking the Orgas' ornamental rule on page 1, as well as smaller italic type throughout, compared to another edition with the same drop title and imprint.
The typography, especially the use of short ss in this suelta with an early date, suggests it is a concealed reprint. Cf. Cruickshank, "Some problems posed by suelta editions of plays" p. 119.
