Notes: Scene totals may be less then then the sum of character lines due combined speech. The original source may be found here. As little alteration as possible was made to the source, though obvious formatting errors were corrected. Charactar assigntations for group speech (ALL etc.) are my own however. In cases of ambiguity, I include all characters in the scene. Line counts may not always be an accurate indication of length, as prose speeches are counted as a single line. Be aware that characters who appear in a scene without speaking parts are not represented in the grid above.

As there are many different scene/act divisions to be found in the different versions of the Dr. Faustus A Text, I divided the play into two acts, the first the prologue and the second, the rest of the play. Scene divisions were left intact as per the original source however; including a blank scene 13, which will remain until I can establish whether there was a reason for its inclusion in the Liberty Fund transcription.
