Numbering of the footnotes has been changed, and each footnote is given a unique identity in the form [XXX]. One aditional footnote [a] has been inserted. Many of the footnotes refer back to notes to "The First Part Of Tamburlaine the Great." These references have been copied and inserted into the notes to this play. CHANGES TO THE TEXT: Character names were expanded. For Example, TAMBURLAINE was TAMB., ZENOCRATE was ZENO., etc. The Second Part of Tamburlaine the Great. Concerning the old eds., see the prefatory matter to THE FIRST PART.[a] THE PROLOGUE. The general welcomes Tamburlaine receiv'd, When he arrived last upon the [1] stage, Have made our poet pen his Second Part, Where Death cuts off the progress of his pomp, And murderous Fates throw all his triumphs [2] down.
