Critical Commentary
Fleay identified Philipo and Hippolito with a lost play by Philip Massinger, namely, Philenzo and Hypollita, which was registered at Stationers' Hall on 29 June 1660 by Humphrey Moseley with a considerable number of other plays. Moseley there attributes authorship to Massinger and assigns the genre of tragicomedy.
