elements," &c., on p. 87, first col,--"THESE" being
equivalent to THE. (Not unfrequently in our old writers
THESE is little more than redundant.)" ]

Note ||, from p. 11. (The First Part of Tamburlaine the
Great):
"renowmed: i.e. renowned.--So the 8vo.--The 4to "renowned."
--The form "RENOWMED" (Fr. RENOMME) occurs repeatedly
afterwards in this play, according to the 8vo. It is
occasionally found in writers posterior to Marlowe's
time. e.g.
"Of Constantines great towne RENOUM'D in vaine."

MONARCHICKE TRAGEDIES, ed. 1607." ]

[Footnote 30: Mephistophilis Dragon, quod tumeraris: See note *, p. 83.
Note *, from p. 83. (Doctor Faustus, from the quarto of 1604):
"surgat Mephistophilis, quod tumeraris: The later 4tos have
"surgat Mephistophilis DRAGON, quod tumeraris."--There is a
corruption here, which seems to defy emendation. For "quod
TUMERARIS," Mr. J. Crossley, of Manchester, would read
(rejecting the word "Dragon") "quod TU MANDARES" (the
construction being "quod tu mandares ut Mephistophilis
appareat et surgat"): but the "tu" does not agree with the
preceding "vos."--The Revd. J. Mitford proposes "surgat
Mephistophilis, per Dragon (or Dagon) quod NUMEN EST AERIS."" ]
