‘En ceste manere recitom La seinte resurreccion. Primerement apareillons Tus les lius e les mansions: Le crucifix primerement E puis apres le monument. Une jaiole i deit aver Pur les prisons emprisoner. Enfer seit mis de cele part, E mansions de l’altre part, E puis le ciel; et as estals Primes Pilate od ces vassals. Sis u set chivaliers aura. Caïphas en l’altre serra; Od lui seit la jeuerie, Puis Joseph, cil d’Arimachie. El quart liu seit danz Nichodemes. Chescons i ad od sei les soens. El quint les deciples Crist. Les treis Maries saient el sist. Si seit pourvéu que l’om face Galilée en mi la place; Jemaüs uncore i seit fait, U Jhesu fut al hostel trait; E cum la gent est tute asise, E la pés de tutez parz mise, Dan Joseph, cil d’Arimachie, Venge a Pilate, si lui die.’ I have ventured to arrange these _lius_ (_loca_) and _mansions_ (_domus_) or _estals_ (_sedes_), upon the indications of the prologue, in the following plan: [Illustration] And I would point out that such a scheme is simply a continuation of the arrangement down the choir and nave of a church suggested above[273]. The crucifix is where it would stand in the church, above the altar. The place of the monument corresponds to that most usual for the _sepulchrum_ on the north side of the chancel. The positions of heaven and hell are those in the former case of the stairs up to the rood-loft, in the latter of the stairs down to the crypt; and what, in a church, should serve for hell and heaven but crypt and rood-loft[274]? The Galilee answers to the porch at the west end of the church, which we know to have been so called[275]; and the castle of Emmaus stands in the middle of the nave, just as it did in the Fleury _Peregrini_. With my conjectural plan may be compared this actual plan of a sixteenth-century stage from Donaueschingen, in which a similar principle is apparent, the three divisions formed by cross-barriers corresponding to the three divisions of a church—sanctuary, choir, nave[276]. [Illustration: PLAN OF DONAUESCHINGEN PASSION-PLAY STAGE (_sixteenth century_). A. B. C. The three divisions of the stage, corresponding to the nave, choir, and sanctuary of a church. 1. The first door. 2. Hell. 3. The Garden of Gethsemane. 4. Mount Olivet. 5. The second door. 6. Herod’s palace. 7. Pilate’s palace. 8. The pillar of scourging. 9. The pillar for the cock. 10. The house of Caiaphas. 11. The house of Annas. 12. The house of the Last Supper. 13. The third door. 14, 15, 16, 17. Graves from which the dead arise. 18, 19. Crosses of the two thieves. 20.
