¹ It is to be regretted that the discussion of this scene is put at the very beginning, before the discussion of the Old Testament scenes, instead of connecting it with the other scenes from the passion. For although, in Dr. Rudwin's not altogether conclusive opinion, the harrowing of hell was the earliest scene in which the devil appeared on the stage, the arrangement in this chapter follows the order of biblical events, not the chronology of mediæval stage history.
