Note 770 — BOOK III THE COMPANIES (continued 7)
Reading edition
Archiv, xii. 320; xiii. 316; xiv. 118; xv. 115; Mentzel, 26, 37. Herz, 34, points out that about this date the Duke of Brunswick’s Ehebrecherin and Vincentius Ladislaus were played in Frankfort, probably by these men. They are referred to at length by Marx Mangoldt, Markschiffs-Nachen (1597), in a passage beginning:
Da war nun weiter mein Intent, Zu sehen das Englische Spiel, Dauon ich hab gehört so viel. Wie der Narr drinnen, Jan genennt, Mit Bossen wer so excellent.
Herz, 34, also assigns to the company anonymous appearances at Ulm, Munich, and Tübingen in 1597 (Archiv, xii. 319; xiii. 316; xv. 212).
