possible by Greg (Henslowe, ii. 165), appears to be due to the entry of a Philenzo and Hypollita by Massinger, who revised other early work of Dekker, in the S. R. on 29 June 1660, to the entry of a Philenzo and Hipolito by Massinger in Warburton's list of burnt plays (3 Library, ii. 231), and to the appearance of a Julio and Hyppolita in the German collection of 1620. A copy of Massinger's play is said (Collier, Henslowe, xxxi) to be amongst the Conway MSS.
(ii) The Jew of Venice.
Entered as a play by Dekker in the S. R. on 9 Sept. 1653 (3 Library, ii. 241). It has been suggested (Fleay, i. 121, and Sh. 30, 197; Greg in Henslowe, ii. 170) that it was the source of a German play printed from a Vienna MS. by Meissner, 131 (cf. Herz, 84). In this a personage disguises himself as a French doctor, which leads to the conjectural identification of its English original both with The Venetian Comedy produced by the Admiral's on 27 Aug. 1594 and with The French Doctor performed by the same men on 19 Oct. 1594 and later dates and bought by them from Alleyn in 1602. The weakest point in all this guesswork is the appearance of common themes in the German play and in The Merchant of Venice, which Fleay explains to his own satisfaction by the assumption that Shakespeare based The Merchant of Venice on Dekker's work. (iii) Dr. Faustus.
Revived by the Admiral's on 30 Sept. 1594. On the possibility that the 1604 text contains comic scenes written by Dekker for this revival, cf. s.v. Marlowe.
(iv) Diocletian.
Produced by the Admiral's, 16 Nov. 1599; cf. s.v. The Virgin Martyr (supra). (v) The Set at Maw.
Produced by the Admiral's on 14 Dec. 1594; cf. s.v. Match Me in London (supra). (vi) Antony and Valia.
Revived by the Admiral's, 4 Jan. 1595, and ascribed by Fleay, i. 213, with some encouragement from Greg in Henslowe, ii. 174, to Dekker, on the ground of entries in the S. R. on 29 June 1660 and in Warburton's list of burnt plays (3 Library, ii. 231) of an Antonio and Vallia by Massinger, who revised other early work by Dekker. (vii) The Mack.
Produced by the Admiral's on 21 Feb. 1595; cf. s.v. The Wonder of a Kingdom (supra). (viii) 1 Fortunatus.
Revived by the Admiral's on 3 Feb. 1596; cf. s.v. Old Fortunatus (supra). (ix) Stukeley.
Produced by the Admiral's on 11 Dec. 1596. On Fleay's ascription to Dekker, cf. s.v. Captain Thomas Stukeley (Anon.).
