The facsimile opposite represents the title-page of an early edition, in the Yale University Library, of the comedy of 'Gl' Ingannati,' originally performed during a Sienese carnival (1531) by the literary society of the Intronati. This play first combined in a significant degree the essential elements in the plot of 'Twelfth Night.' See Appendix A.
