The title page for Marlowe’s “Tamburlaine the Greate” from the Boston Public Library’s Thomas Pennant Barton Collection. The page is yellowed and decorated with a motif of ivy at the very top. Underneath the motif it reads: “Tamburlaine the Greate. VVho, from the ſtate of a Shepheard in Scythia, by his rare and wonderfull Conqueſts, became a moſt puiſſant and mighty Monarque.” Below the text is a straight line, with a large decorative fleur-de-lis beneath it. Under the fleur-de-lis lists the publication information: “LONDON Printed for Edward White, and are to be ſolde at the little North doore of Saint Paules – Church, at the ſigne of the Gunne. 1605.”
