[30] See _English Folk-Song and Dance_ by Frank Kidson and Mary Neal, Cambridge, 1915, plate facing p. 104. A curious point in connection with the illustration is that the Chalice is surmounted by a Heart, and in the Tarot suits _Cups_ are the equivalent of our _Hearts_. The combination has now become identified with the cult of the Sacred Heart, but is undoubtedly much older. CHAPTER VIII [1] Cf. _supra_, Chap. 5, pp. 52, 54; Chap. 7, pp. 90, 91.

[6] I would draw attention to the fact that while scholars are now coming to the conclusion that Classic Drama, whether Tragedy or Comedy, reposes for its origin upon this ancient ritual, others have pointed out that Modern Drama derives from the ritual Play of the Church, the first recorded medieval drama being the Easter _Quem Quaeritis?_ the dramatic celebration of Our Lord’s Resurrection. Cf. Chambers, _The Mediaeval Stage_, where this thesis is elaborately developed and illustrated. It is a curious fact that certain texts of this, the ‘Classical’ Passion Play, contain a scene between the Maries and the ‘Unguentarius’ from whom they purchase spices for the embalmment of Our Lord. Can this be a survival of the Medicine Man? (Cf. _op. cit_. Vol. ii. p. 33.) [7] Bibl. Nat., fonds Français, 12577, fo. 40 [8] Bibl. Nat., f. F. 1453, fo. 49. _Parzival_, Bk. x. ll, 413-22.

[15] The only instance in which I have found medicine directly connected with the knightly order is in the case of the warrior clan of the Samurai, in Japan, where members, physically unfitted for the task of a warrior, were trained as _Royal_ Doctors, the _Folk_ Doctors being recruited from a class below the Samurai.

[2] My attention was drawn to the poem by references to it in _The Mediaeval Stage_, Chambers. CHAPTER IX [1] Cf. my _Sir Gawain and the Grail Castle_, pp. 3-30. The best text is that of MS. B.N., fonds Franç. 12576, ff. 87vo-91. The above remarks apply also to the _Elucidation_, which is using a version of the _Bleheris_ form. [2] B.N. 12577, fo. 136_vo_.
