Across-posting from FICINO -- I'll assemble any responses and send them off to that list. I was rather distressed that no-one who replied on FICINO mentioned a REED volume, in fact most of the replies refered to Gardiner's _Mysteries' End_ A. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Fri, 13 Oct 1995 14:23:39 UTC+0200 From: Jesus Cora <[log in to unmask]> To: Multiple recipients of list FICINO <[log in to unmask]> Subject: English Religious Drama Dear Ficinians, I think I remember having read that moralities or mysteries, maybe both, were banned in England in 1586 (or thereabouts) in order to avoid religious disputations. I am unable to find a confirmation for this fact so I am beginning to suspect that this is a figment of my imagination. Could any charitable soul out there either dismiss or confirm this idea?
