either the Admiral's or the Chamberlain's on 6 and 15 June 1594, and thirteen times by the Admiral's from 25 June 1594 to 23 June 1596 (Henslowe, ii. 151). The 1598 inventories of the latter company
include 'j cauderm for the Jewe' (Henslowe Papers, 118). On 19 May 1601 Henslowe advanced them money to buy 'things' for a revival of the play (Henslowe, i. 137). Heywood's epistle and Cockpit prologue name Marlowe and Alleyn as writer and actor of the play. Fleay, i. 298, suggests that Heywood wrote the Bellamira scenes (III. i; IV. iv, v; V. i), the motive of which he used for the plot of his Captives, and Greg agrees that the play shows traces of two hands, one of which may be Heywood's. The Dresden repertory of 1626 included a 'Tragödie von Barabas, Juden von Malta', but this was not necessarily the play 'von dem Juden' given by English actors at Passau in 1607 and Graz in 1608 (Herz, 66, 75).

Editions in Dodsley^{1-3}, ii (1744-1825), and by W. Scott (1810, A. B. D. i), W. Wagner (1871), F. G. Fleay (1873, 1877), O. W. Tancock (1877, etc.), E. T. McLaughlin (1894), A. W. Verity (1896, T. D.), and W. A. Neilson (1911, C. E. D.).—Dissertations: C. Tzschaschel, M.'s Edward II und seine Quellen (1902, Halle diss.); M. Dahmetz, M.'s Ed. II und Shakespeares Rich. II (1904). Pembroke's men seem only to have had a footing at Court in the winter of 1592-3, and this is probably the date of the play. Greg (Henslowe, ii. 224) suggests that it may have had some 'distant connexion' with Chettle and Porter's The Spencers and an anonymous Mortimer of the Admiral's men in 1599 and 1602 respectively. But I think Mortimer is a slip of Henslowe's for Vortigern.
The Massacre at Paris. 1593
[MS.] Collier, ii. 511, prints a fragment of a fuller text than that of the edition, but it is suspect (cf. Tucker Brooke, 483).
