Microcynicon: Six Snarling Satires is an early work of satire by Thomas Middleton. It was one of the nine works specifically singled out for censorship, i.e. burning by the hangman, by the Bishop's Ban of June 1599. According to Wikipedia, "it was not reprinted again in the seventeenth century", which implies that it was reprinted later.

How did Microcynicon survive the Bishop's Ban? In other words, what was the later reprinting based on? A manuscript (now probably lost) or a printed copy that had somehow survived? Is the original printing from the late 16th century still available or are modern editions based on the reprint after the seventeenth century?

Michelle O'Callahan's Thomas Middleton, Renaissance Dramatist (Edinburgh University Press, 2009) mentions the burning after the Bishop's Ban but says nothing about how the text survived (pages 9–10).
