There is only one extant copy remaining of following anonymously written verse adaptation of Marlowe’s Doctor Faustus in the British Library. This text was reprinted by an anonymous publisher in 1696 from a 1664 edition also featured in this Mini-Archive. Students in the Spring 2018 section of “A Rogue’s Progress” worked from a Roman letter facsimile copy available through the Early English Books Online database to transcribe, encode, and edit this work using Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) guidelines.

Project Intern Rowan Pereira (Stonehill ’19) edited this document during the Fall 2018 semester. It has been published on the TEI Archiving, Publishing, and Access Service ( TAPAS) website and is available via the link below.
