The Digby Plays is a collection of medieval plays that were performed in the town of Digby, England during the 15th century. The plays are written in Middle English and were likely performed by guilds or religious organizations. The collection includes a variety of plays, including biblical stories such as Noah’s Ark and the Nativity, as well as secular plays that explore themes of love and morality.In addition to the plays, this edition of The Digby Plays also includes an incomplete morality play called Wisdom Who Is Christ. This play explores the concept of wisdom and how it can be attained through faith in Christ. The play features allegorical characters such as Lady Wisdom and the Devil, and is written in a style that is typical of medieval morality plays.The book is edited by Frederick James Furnivall, a prominent 19th century scholar of Middle English literature. Furnivall provides extensive notes and commentary to help readers understand the language and context of the plays, making this edition a valuable resource for anyone interested in medieval drama or English literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
