===Marlowe's ''Doctor Faustus''=== The [[Historia von D. Johann Fausten (chapbook)|early Faust chapbook]], while in circulation in northern Germany, found its way to England, where in 1592 an English translation was published, ''The Historie of the Damnable Life, and Deserved Death of Doctor Iohn Faustus'' credited to a certain "P. F., Gent[leman]". [[Christopher Marlowe]] used this work as the basis for his more ambitious play, ''[[The Tragical History of Doctor Faustus]]'' (published {{circa|1604}}). Marlowe also borrowed from [[John Foxe]]'s ''[[Foxe's Book of Martyrs|Book of Martyrs]]'', on the exchanges between [[Pope Adrian VI]] and a rival pope.
