The Records of Early English Drama (REED) series aims to establish the context for the great drama of Britain's past by examining material related to drama, secular music, and other communal entertainment and ceremony from the Middle Ages until the mid-seventeenth century. This latest volume in the series is a collection of documentary evidence for dramatic performance, minstrelsy, and civic ceremony in Cheshire to 1642. Editors Elizabeth Baldwin and David Mills have provided introductions detailing the historical background and significance of the documents presented, as well as a full apparatus of document descriptions, explanatory and textual notes and glossaries. Cheshire completes the series of REED volumes on the West of England, and incorporates an updated version of the early Chester volume, as well as providing extensive new material on the county of Cheshire as a whole, making it an essential addition to this much-admired series.

First published in 1993. Part of a series on medieval casebooks, this volume six looks at the Chester Mystery Cycle Play manuscripts and comparisons of the York and Chester Cycle. Theologically a product of the Middle Ages, historically a product of the Renaissance, what we today call the Chester Mystery Cycle is a series of twenty-four plays dramatizing the events of salvation history from Creation until Doomsday. One of four surviving English mystery cycles, the Chester Cycle, which originally included a twenty-fifth play of the Assumption surpressed sometime in the mid-sixteenth century, was, until more modern times, last performed in 1575.

This work proposes to fully and comprehensively describe the members of the gens romana who were closely associated with the Roman emperors, some of whom were their descendants. It was a prestigious family of ancient Rome belonging mainly to the equestrian rank. In the later years of the Empire some of them joined the senatorial rank, others were philosophers and grammarians. Over the years many origins have been proposed on the name Artorius. Some scholars have proposed a Celtic or Etruscan origin but, in this article, a Calabrian (i.e. Messapian) origin will be considered. Analyzing epigraphic sources and many books, some 230 members of the family have been found to have lived from the 4th or 3rd century B.C. to the 5th century A.D. The most famous was Lucius Artorius Castus and was close to the emperors Marcus Aurelius, Commodus, and Septimius Severus.
