The story of Coventry

by Mary Dormer Harris

[680] "Vulgo dicitur hic liber Ludus Coventriæ, sive ludus Corporis Christi."

[681] See Chambers, op. cit., ii. 416-22; Gayley, Plays of Our Forefathers, 135-9, 325-7; Shelling, Eliz. Drama, 20-1; Leach in Furnivall Misc., 232-3.

[682] See Camb. Lit. Hist. v. 13 for the York friar, who described himself as a "professor of pageantry."

[683] Mr Chambers suggests that, as the crafts admittedly altered and revised their plays, the Ludus Coventriæ may be a discarded version.

[684] Leach in Furnivall Misc., 232.

[685] Craig, xviii.

[686] On the Prophetae, see Chambers, ii. 52, 70; Craig, xviii.

[687] Craig, xvi. This certainly was the subject of a play; see payment to S. Thomas of India above, p. 287.

[688] Particularly in the fragment of—probably—an earlier version, see Craig, op. cit., 119-122.

[689] See Craig, op. cit., xxiv.-v.
