London, Printed by Thomas Cotes, 1639; Oxford, The Malone Society Reprints, 1962. Hard Cover. xi, [59] p., 3 facsimiles on 2 leaves; 22 cm. Reprint of STC 6181, "The Bloodie Banquet. A Tragedie... By T. D." "That the source of The Bloody Banquet was William Warner's Pan his Syrinx (1584, 1597) was first pointed out by Wallace Bacon in his edition of the romance in 1950. For the sensational climactic episode of the Thyestean feast, the dramatist followed the romance's Calamus secundus, 'Thetis' ('Tethis' in the play)... The story of Tymethes, Amphrodite, Mazeres, and Zenarchus is adapted, rather more freely than the other material, from Calamus sextus." Prepared by Samuel Schoenbaum. Linen spine; unopened; fine, gift quality. Stock#25040.
