Excerpt from The Chester Plays, Vol. 1
I took H as the base for my edition, because it seemed to offer the best text. Even if I should be wrong in my estimation of this ms., which I Shall endeavour to justify further on, H has nevertheless so many and such characteristic variations from B W 11, that its text will retain importance even for those who may prefer the group B W h as deviating less from the original form of the Chester Plays. Moreover, any other form I could have given to my edition, would have resembled closely Wright's publication, with the one difference, that even in the group B W h, not W the oldest, but B the youngest ms., seems to me the most trustworthy bearer of a common tradition.
