         Transcribers Comments on the preparation of the E-Text:       

         SQUARE BRACKETS: The square brackets, i.e. are copied from the printed book, without change, except that the stage directions usually do not have closing brackets. These have been added.       

         FOOTNOTES: For this E-Text version of the book, the footnotes have been consolidated at the end of the play.       

         Numbering of the footnotes has been changed, and each footnote is given         a unique identity.       

         CHANGES TO THE TEXT: Character names were expanded. For Example, FAUSTUS was FAUST; SECOND SCHOLAR was SEC. SCHOL.       

         OTHER COMMENTS: This E-Text of Doctor Faustus is taken from a volume of The Works of Christopher Marlowe. That volume also contains an earlier version of the play, based on the text of 1604, which is available as an E-Text. Some of the notes to the earlier version are applicable to, and help explain, this version.
