Critical Commentary

Collier identified Philipo and Hippolito with a play putatively by Philip Massinger, ''Philenzo and Hippolyta'', which he considered "in all probability, revived and altered" from the Admiral's play (55). In an additional note, Collier announced that Massinger's play had been found in manuscript in "the Conway Papers" (xxxi) Google Books

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

Philenzo and Hippolyta was registered at Stationers' Hall on 29 June 1660 by Humphrey Moseley with a considerable number of other plays. Moseley there attributed authorship to Massinger and assigned the genre of tragicomedy. It also was listed by Thomas Warburton as one of the plays lost to the fire that baked his cook's pies.

Arthur Freeman and Janet Ing Freeman do not list "Conway Papers" in the index of John Payne Collier: Scholarship and forgery in the Nineteenth Century, 2 vols. New Haven: Yale University Press, 2004. Nor does Bentley identify the source (4.808). Since the Massinger play, Philenzo and Hippolyta, remains lost, one must assume that Collier erred in claiming its survival in the Conway Papers (whatever they are).
