This edition of "The Trial of Treasure" is a photographic
facsimile of one of the five extant copies of this apparently
anonymous play which was printed in 1567 by Thomas Purfoote. It
reproduces the copy at the Harry Ransome Library, Austin, Texas
which has an anomaly in the printing not found in the other copies.
In considering typographical characteristics of the text, the
Introduction discusses the place of this play in Purfoote's
extensive output. It also addresses the relationship with William
Wager's" Enough is as Good as a Feast" with which it shares some
seventy lines, and considers the possibility of common authorship.
The text is rich in stage directions and aspects of performance are
discussed including the doubling scheme for five players and the
role of the Vice which is exemplified here.
