Old Fortunatus is a play written by Thomas Dekker in 1600. The play is set in Europe and tells the story of Fortunatus, a man who is granted a magical purse by the goddess Fortune. The purse is never empty and provides Fortunatus with endless wealth and power. However, his greed and lust for more leads him down a path of destruction, and he loses everything he has gained. Along the way, he encounters a variety of characters, including a group of thieves, a wealthy merchant, and a beautiful woman named Bellafront. The play explores themes of greed, power, and the consequences of one's actions. It is a classic example of Elizabethan drama and is still performed today. This edition of the play was published in 1904 and includes an introduction by the editor, W. W.
