To complete transcription of the text of Cotton MS Vespasian D. VIII, the N-Town Cycle of mystery plays. The N-Town Cycle is one of the four surviving collections of English mystery plays, which document the manner in which the Bible was read in the Middle Ages and which illustrate, moreover, the means of religious consolation and the conception of social order which obtained at the closed of the medieval period.
