The triumph of peace : a masque : presented by the foure honourable houses, or Innes of Court before the King and Queenes Majesties, in the banquetting-house at White Hall, February the third. 1633 / invented and written by James Shirley, of Grayes-Inne, Gent.

Note
Partly in verse.
The years are given according to Lady Day dating.
Signatures: a² chi1 A-D⁴.
Leaf chi1 bears "A speech to the King and Queenes Maiesties".
In this edition B4r last line has "vnder Water" in place of "vnderwater" or "vnder water". Quire a is mostly in the same setting as the other editions; other quires display a variety of partial resettings, impositions, &c. This appears to be a later edition than those with "vnderwater" or "vnder water" in B4r last line.
An exceptionally difficult item to classify bibliographically; see "The Library", ser. 5, vol. 1 (Sept. 1946), p. 113-26. There are, broadly speaking, three settings of the work. The fingerprints provided in STC 22458.5-22459b, based on this article, fail to give a meaningful sorting by these settings, and further subdivision (by imposition, &c.) is frustrated by the mixture of states exhibited by each forme from copy to copy.
