Subject: Pater Noster plays?
Dear everyone:
Are there any extant versions of medieval English Pater Noster plays?
If so, how can I get a copy of one? If these questions make me the mayor
of Bozo Town, I apologize and plead inexperience -- I'm a student here at
Ball State U., and relatively new to this. Thanks in advance for your
help!
