T
SUBJECTS OF THE CYCLICAL MIRACLES

[This comparative table is based on that drawn up by Prof. Hohlfeld in Anglia, xi. 241. The episodes are taken in their scriptural order, which is not always that of the plays. I have added the Cornish data, using O. P. R. to indicate the Origo Mundi, Passio Domini, and Resurrectio Domini of the older text, and J. for William Jordan’s Creation of the World. I have quoted Halliwell’s divisions of the Ludus Coventriae, really a continuous text, for convenience sake.]
