Note 587 — VI THE MASK (continued)
Reading edition
Prunières, 94 sqq. Lacroix, i. 89, 109, 237, 271, 305, prints four French masks which allow of a useful comparison with those of England, viz. Ballet des Chevaliers François et Béarnois (1592), Balletz representez devant le Roy (1593), Ballet de Monseigneur le Duc de Vandosme (1610); Ballet du Courtisan et des Matrones (1612); also a description of Le Grand Bal de la Reine Marguerite (1612), which shows the relation of the mask to the contemporary non-mimetic state ball. On French masks of 1605, 1609, 1612, and 1615, cf. Sullivan, 29, 52, 67, 99.
