^{page 240 note 1} A critical bibliographical treatment of the material is impossible here. The following tables will give an accurate enough general idea, though undoubtedly some editions have been wrongly admitted, as some of those not included may have been wrongly dropped.

^{page 240 note 2} Cf. Aspland's ed. of Caxton's edition (1878), p. 36, showing that Caxton printed more than his usual number. The unusual number of extant editions and copies goes to indicate the same thing. There are, e. g., not far from a dozen copies of various editions in the Boston Public, Harvard University, and Union Theological Seminary (N. Y.) Libraries.

Almost all art, whether in illumination of mss., in painting on glass, or wall painting, or what not, was sacred and very generally legendary. The fact is that “In the thirteenth century mediseval art underwent a great transformation” (Woltmann, and Woermann, , N.
