Note 331 — Chapter XX · THE SECULARIZATION OF THE PLAYS
Reading edition
Pollard, xxiv. I do not know how Ward, i. 43, gets at the very different theory that in 1210 (sic for 1207) Innocent III ordered plays ‘to be represented outside the church as well as inside.’ Mr. Pollard, by the way, assigns the prohibition to ‘Pope Gregory,’ a further mistake, due, I suppose, to the fact that it was subsequently included in the Gregorian Decretals.
