Note 236 — Chapter XIX · LITURGICAL PLAYS (continued)

At Rouen, e.g., a confraternity played a misterium on the feast of the Assumption in a waxen ‘hortus’ set up in their chapel; and this between 1446 and 1521 required reformation from various ‘derisiones,’ especially a ‘ludus de marmousetis’ (Gasté, 76). But I know of no evidence for a Latin Assumption play, although such may quite well have existed. The Lincoln Assumption play was given in the cathedral, as a wind-up to a cycle (Representations, s.v. Lincoln).
