[32] _St. Katharine_ (Dunstable _c._ 1100, Coventry, 1490); _St. George_ (1415 and later); _St. Laurence_ (Lincoln, 1441); _St. Susanna_ (Lincoln, 1447); _St. Clara_ (Lincoln, 1455); _St. Edward_ (Coventry, 1456 and later); _St. Christian_ (Coventry, 1504); _St. Christina_ (Bethersden in Kent, 1522); _Sts. Crispin and Crispinian_ (Dublin, 1528); _St. Olave_ (London, 1557). Some of these were church plays, like the _St. Olave_; some, like the _St. Katharine_, were school plays; some, craft plays, like the _St. Crispin_. It is hard sometimes to distinguish between the play and the mumming or the mute pageant; to the dumb show may be assigned some of the _St. Georges_ and the pageants of Fabyan, Sebastian, and Botulf, displayed, in 1564, by the religious gild of Holy Trinity (St. Botolph without Aldersgate). For some conception of the frequency and vitality of such shows one need only turn to Hone, Stow's _Survey_, the _Records of Aberdeen_, Toulmin Smith's _English Gilds_, the _History of Dublin_, Davidson's _English Mystery Plays_, and other books of this kind. [33] German ballads on the subject in 1337 and 1478. A case similar to the material of this drama is assigned to 1478 in Train's _Gesch. d. Juden in Regensburg_, pp. 116-117.

[41] Stow speaks of mummers, "with black visors, not amiable, as if legates from some foreign prince." [42] Cf. "Two balls (i.e. _bulls_) from _yonder mountain_ have _laid me_ quite _low_," with _Golden Legend_, vol. IV., p. 103, Temple Classics ed. There is no such close similarity in the language of the Early South English Legendary, Laud Ms., Seint Ieme, and Seint George (Horstmann, Ed. E.E.T.S., 1887). [43] _Schauspiele d. engl. Komödianten_, Einl. XCIV. [44] L. W. Cushman, _The Devil and the Vice_, Halle a. S., 1900. [45] I remember only Herod and Antichrist outside of the Digby plays and of the Cornwall cycle (where the devils act as chorus and carry off everything in sight), and the souls of those already damned who are claimed by the devils of the Towneley. [46] Whether the Rewfyn and Leyon of the Co. were Devils, I have my doubts. [47] Furnivall, _Digby Plays_, p. 43; ten Brink, _Gesch. engl. Lit._, II. 320, and Sharp's _Dissertation on the Co.
