 The Research Potential of the Electronic OED2 Database: X. Appendices
Assuming that he or she is familiar with the drama of that period, it might be possible quickly to identify the known or suspected dramas from a printout of citations from the specified time period.
Alternatively, if the list of dramatists for the period was relatively small, one might search by author within the group of words derived from Italian within the 1650 to 1725 date-range.
Since a list of frequencies can be generated in descending order, this produced a fair indicator of the probable split between what were defined as "periodicals" and other types of material, although care must be exercised in accepting frequency counts because of the variations in the way individual titles are cited.
