This work contains a number of important plays and masques by Ben Jonson and his collaborators, including the best annotated edition of The Alchemist I've found. While it by no means contains all of his works (the man was prolific, but in many ways this title should be "Ben Jonson's Comedies and Masques"), it's a great start if you're looking to build a library of Renaissance plays and performances on a reasonable budget.
