Note 604 — Chapter VI · THE ORIENTATION OF GRAVES

Martin Months Minde, orig. edition, 1589 (the tract is not paginated). Cf. E. Arber, Introd. sketch to the Martin Marprelate controversy, 1880. (Eng. Scholar’s Lib., No. 8.) The nickname of the imaginary schismatic is obviously taken from the “Month’s Mind”—a commemorative service which was held on a day one month from the date of the death of the person. The authorship and genesis of the tracts are discussed in W. Pierce’s Hist. Introduction to the Marprelate tracts, 1908. For Martin Months Minde, see pp. 229, 328 of that work.
