Extract

Some information respecting Easter Sepulchres may be met with in most works on mediæval archaeology ; but if the student wishes to know more about the subject, and compares their statements, he will find that the whole are derived from extremely limited sources. With respect to the structures known by the name, a paper in the Vetusta Monumenta, bearing the initials “R. G.” is the mine from which the other writers have dug their materials: and as for the ceremony for which the structures were used, one or two works furnish nearly all the little store of information yet opened to us.

^{page 264 note a} Since this paper was read, the writer finds that a similar distinction is made by De Coussemaker (Drames liturgiques du Moyen Age ; Rennes, 4to, 1860), who says:—” Les drames liturgiques sont ceux qui se liaient d'une manière intime aux cérémonies du culte ; ils étaient la mise en action des offices des temps et des saints ; ils en étaient le développement, ou le complément” (Pref. p. viij.); but that subsequently “l'esprit civil s'empara de l'élément dramatique, et en transporta, dans un but pieux, les émotions au théâtre.”

^{page 281 note d} It has been suggested that the gloss to the passage of the Decretals referred to in the next page may have been in the author's mind. The gloss runs thus:—“Non tamen hie prohibetur repræsentare presepe Domini, Hetodem, Magos, et qualiter Rachel plorabat filios suos et cætera quæ tangunt festivitates illas de quibus hie fit mentio, cum talia potius inducant homines ad compunctionem quam ad lasciviam vel voluptatem; sicut in Pascha, sepulchrum Domini et alia repræsentantur ad devotionem excitandam.”
