The following entry is found in the Registers of theS tationers Company: xvj die Aprilis [ii?] .. .E ntred for his Copie vnder thandes of bothe the wardens Ralph Hancock a booke or interlude intituled a pleasant Conceipte called the owide wifes tale vj .. [A rber sT ranscript, II. 296.] Within the year appeared an edition in quarto, the only one known to have been issued. It was printed by John Danter, and the name of John Hardy was associated with Hancock sas publisher. The address without Cripplegate given in the colophon, being neither Banter snor Hardy s, presumably belonged to Hancock, who appears in the Registers as publishing from 15-93 to 195, though no other book connected with him seems to have survived. The title-page reports that the comedy was played by the Queenes Maiesties players ,a company whose fortunes began to decline soon after if90 and whose career had probably come to an end, at least so far asL ondon was concerned, before the play was published. There is added the further information that the piece was Written by G. P. None of the early bibliographers of the drama had seen the play.
