Reading edition
Laon: Rigollot, 21; Grenier, 356, 413; C. Hidé, Bull. de la Soc. acad. de Laon, xiii. 122; E. Fleury, Cinquante Ans de Laon, 52. A chapter act of 1546 states that the custom of playing a comedy at the election of the Boy Bishop on St. Eloi’s day (Dec. 1) has ceased. The Mass is not to be disturbed, but ‘si les escoliers veulent faire un petit discours, il seroit entendu avec plaisir.’
