Commentary on the authorship of Albumazar, with a transcription of the play [manuscript], ca. 1870.

Includes a transcript of the play with an introduction and extensive notes, studies, and comparisons to Shakespeare's plays, in an effort to attribute the authorship to Shakespeare instead of Thomas Tomkis. The transcript of the play is in the hand of an amanuensis, while the introductory material and notes are apparently in the hand of Henry Ingall, whose signature appears on leaf 25.
