Scope and content
Play by Fulke Greville. Bullough, in his edition of the play, examined 4 texts of Mustapha; this manuscript corresponds more closely to the early manuscript and STC 12362, printed 1609, (called C and Q), than to the later manuscript and STC 12361, printed 1633, (called W and F). Folger manuscript has many variants from both C and Q, particularly in having a Chorus at the end of Act II, repeated at the end of the play. For a further note on this manuscript see BM Quarterly, XXXIV (1970), 121 n. 45.
