Abstract Following the findings of two prior publications this supplement makes use of the General Imposters (GI) method which largely confirms previous results, namely that the Marlowe corpus is stylistically inhomogeneous. The two Tamburlaines match each other in style, but the remaining corpus has hardly any stylistic similarity with them. Instead, there are strong indications of Shakespeare’s involvement in nominal Marlowe plays which becomes most obvious in The Jew of Malta. In terms of methodology, GI turns out to be an additional verification system, at its best when the training set consists of the texts of only two authors.
