Note 414 — Chapter V
Reading edition
Cecchi's Elevation of the Cross aims at the dignity of a five-act tragedy; but it was not represented until 1589. Santa Uliva illustrates the interludes; and a very interesting example is supplied by the Miracolo di S. Maria Maddalena, where two boys prologize in dialogue, comment at intervals upon the action, and conclude the exhibition with a Laud.
