Brennus.
Sir John Harington’s catalogue of his plays in 1610 (7 N. Q. ix. 382) includes ‘Belynus, Brennus’. This might represent either two plays or one.
Bonos Nochios.
S. R. 1609, Jan. 27 (Segar). ‘An enterlude called Bonos Nochios.’ Charlton (Arber, iii. 400).
Cardenio.
Ascribed to Shakespeare (q.v.) and Fletcher.
Celestina.
S. R. 1598, Oct. 5. ‘A booke intituled The tragicke Comedye of Celestina, wherein are discoursed in most pleasant stile manye Philosophicall sentences and advertisementes verye necessarye for younge gentlemen Discoveringe the sleightes of treacherous servantes and the subtile cariages of filthye bawdes.’ William Aspley (Arber, iii. 127).
This was doubtless, like the earlier Calisto and Meliboea (Mediaeval Stage, ii. 455) and James Mabbe’s The Spanish Bawd (1631), a version of the Spanish Celestina (1499) of Fernando de Rojas, but it can hardly have been Mabbe’s, which was entered in S. R. on 27 Feb. 1630, while Mabbe, although born in 1572, is first heard of as a writer in 1611, and appears to have turned his attention to things Spanish as a result of a visit to Spain in that year.
